I almost never check-raise the river. I only really do it when my opponent has been showing a ton of strength on previous streets, and most of the time, I like betting out and letting him raise me/pay me off. I play lower than you though, so I do very well by nearly always value betting rivers, I get paid off a lot more than I would against tougher opponents. Actually you don't play that much higher than me, I say you increase your value bets big time!
