I check here and call a decent bet on the river

Why give him a free river? I think there are a bunch of hands that call you if behind, and I don't mind picking the pot up on the spot. Not that the board is particularly draw heavy, but there are plenty of cards there that I don't really want to see come off on the river.

Betting now most likely gives you the option to check behind on the river...same as calling his bet or value betting if he checks. I bet somewhere between 0.5x and 1x pot.
