Line check 5/5 at Fallsview
So I think I could have played 1 hand differently this weekend from Fallsview and I would like to see what others think. Here is the background:
Full table with effective stacks at 1200-1300....I just pillaged the table for 1800 after flopping nut flush into a set and second nuts....so I am sitting around 1900 or so. I have not been too active after that big hand but I have been stealing small pots, playing position, the standard fallsview game.
I pick up 67d UTG. I raise to 20 and get 5 callers (I am not worried about how many callers are in the pot I just want to flop something...lol)
Flop comes AdKd2c
Its checked all around.
Turn card comes 4d
I bet out 50 into the 100 dollar pot and get the button calling me only (he had a stack around 1200, I have seen him show down quality hands several times but he has been involved in many pots so I can't give him credit for a made hand yet)
River is 7c
I check and button bets out 75, now at this point I am thinking he may have a better flush so I check call and he flips over a set of 4s.
Now the question is with our effective stacks do you think it would have been more profitable to lead out on the river and take my chances that he would call my value bet (I was thinking of making it 130 on the river) or check call on the safe side that if he does have a higher flush I lose the minimum.
Essentially my thought was if I make it 130 and he re-pops me for 300-400 I can't call his bet because I have to give him credit for a larger flush.
Then my other train of thought was he has only seen me show down the nuts on all my hands so he knows I am not fooling around and with our stack sizes if he does not want to tangle and possibly get stacked.
Does anyone call the re-pop in this situation (check raise instead of check call) if it was to happen based on the fact that the villian has been playing a higher volume of hands?

QdJd / Qd10d / Jd10d are all betting the flop here although checking is fine if youre CRing- definately popping your turn bet. You can probably throw Qd9d, Qd8d and Jd/9d in there as well.
Based on the action here you're only beat by 9d10d 8d9d, so I like my chances - def. bet the river here. More often than not your getting looked up by Ax / 2pr. As played, I really don't think you can CR the river cause youre really in tough if he shoves.
