I don't bet this flop-check/call the flop and lead the turn. The river is a clear block/bet then call a raise.

Did you notice hero has straight flush?
Or is your proposed block/bet an attempt to induce opponent to raise?

Yes, I noticed the straight flush. It is, however, the sucker end. So the block bet serves many purposes-when hero is ahead it probably doesn't lose much value over a big bet as the board is scary. Also, it induces a bluff which can reasonably be called. If hero bets pot and gets raised big then he is in a much more uncomfortable spot.
Obviously, this means that when hero is behind he loses much less than if he had bet big. I know he has a straight flush, but agasint good opponents who aren't getting out of line I don't like jamming the pot with the sucker end of a straight flush when the board is 4 in a row of a suit as raising the ace of hearts here would indicate a severe lack of fundamentals on villain's part.
