I check here, just to save a bet. But you can also bet and fold to a raise. Problem is you don't have much of a read on the player other than that he's loose preflop. It is a strange river check from him, and actually makes me think he's got a flush too. If you bet, he will call with flushes that beat you as well as an 8. I don't think it matters much either way.
