Re: checking the river solely to make sure you get to see his cards
last night i was playing around with a friend in a small limit 6 max game. folded the sb who's lag postflop who open completes, i raise with 86o in the bb, he calls. flop T92, he check calls. turn A, he check calls. river pairs the 9, he checks, i figure he has to have some sort of busted draw, i bet. he calls, i show my 8 high, he mucks.
the moral of the story is, you really never can be certain that they're folding. it's definitely not worth possibly missing a bet just to see what they might have folded with.
