You have it backwards. Check/raising the river after check/calling the whole way is a mistake. If he has AK or whatever he will just check behind on the river after we call the 1st two streets. We probably aren't taking a WA/WB line when we don't bet the river, so an even smarter villian would oftentimes check an UI AA or KK here since betting doesn't have any value on a lot of river cards. Either we missed our draw and will fold or hit or draw and will raise. Sometimes we will have a pair and will call, but these times are offset by the times that we fold a pair on the river and check/raise with a better hand.

We make our money when we check/call by bluffing the river from time to time. By using a proper bluffing strategy (we would be doing it about 4% of the time) we can make quite a bit of extra cash.
