Re: Bet or check this river?
Betting the flop and turn is the best way to play it. You have a very strong draw headsup in a medium sized pot. If you bet the turn he'll probably fold between a third and a half of the time, so the bet shows immediate profit. Plus you improve to top pair on a fairly dry board or a flush pretty often. And you may have the best hand. No reason to take a free card. Or give one.
Oh and betting doesn't really increase your chance to win the pot because not one better hand will fold. The board is dry, you raised preflop, he thinks you have overcards. He will call with any pair, you're not stealing anything.
