I would check/call the river. Get him to bluff when you have him beat, save a bet when you don't.

No. Check calling would be a huge mistake.

It would give the poster a chance to overcall with a marginal pair and would lose the ENTIRE pot. Check raising gives the hero a chance to show down heads up against villians probable junk. Giving poster the chance to make a BIG mistake - folding any pair here - gives hero a good chance to win a big pot.

I am curious why several recomended check raising the turn. The river blank was not an A or K still was a great card for hero here.
