Good points, let me explain a bit more what I was thinking. With the button capping the turn I expected him to follow through with a river bet, so I thought that by checking and calling I would win as much as by betting. I was also worried that if I bet and the player behind me raised I would push the other player off a lot of hands, except for the flush, which would probably 3-bet and cost me more.

So by my check/call I was planning on winning at least 2 bets when I was ahead, as much as betting would likely get me, and would save me money when I was behind.
