A slick too far?

I get awfully nervous when I see a four flush on the board, and my tendency is to fold/check if I don't have the suit ... even heads-up. I would guess this is a leak that could be costly over time. ... comments on this hand would be welcomed:

Well played and I'd take the free showdown here.

I check behind here. Betting causes better hands to raise you, and worse hands are in all likelyhood going to fold. If the Opp has like TT or JJ they might call, but that's a pretty narrow range of hands to valuebet.

sets, straights, and weak flushes all just call.

I get called here by any ace all the time, sometimes even worse. Sometimes, unbelievably worse.

While I think there's a distinct possibility that our hand is good, I think most of the hands we beat dump that river because its far too scary. I check behind.

Yeah, that's good. I'd check behind here. You'll be surprised how often you win without the flush here- -esp if you move to 6max.

I see no problem with bet/fold here. Given his flop bet, he'll often have a weak ace here. This will warrant a call-down enough to be profitable.
