Probably. Are you planning to call a push on the river?

Yes.

I don't like the river check at all. My thinking runs like this:

1. You are going to lose all your chips to a bigger flush (either you push or they push/you call)
2. Most weaker hands are going to be scared by the board and just check on the river.
3. A good number of weaker hands will actually payoff a river bet (trips/2 pair most likely, but straight also possible)

It is the combination of these that I think make betting out the river a better play.
