you were the last player to show strength so bet, if you think villains capable of spewing river and/or that he's not a very strong player you could risk checking but if he's a half decent player and he has top pair he'll most likely check back this river where as if you bet he'll most likely call you down. He might also raise you if he thinks he's good and has been slowplaying a straight or a set, i think you can't go wrong with betting here.

bet, all he has been doing is calling so unless you have a good read on him otherwise he will often check back. if he wasn't playing too tight I would bet about $30 here and hope he raises, if he was playing tight I would bet pot+ as once he calls the $28 turn bet you can put him on a set or better.

Give us some stats and the number of hands you have on him.
I would valuebet all day if i think he will no bomb the river too often when i give him the chance.

Well, you could check, but there is ~75% chance that he checks too (he could have K,x or straight draw), so better keep betting. If he have king, then there is big chance that he call (<40)

The question is how much to bet. I think the answer is less than 1/2 the pot. His range is draws and hands that want to see a showdown. Some hands he will fold, but many he will look you up.

Checkraise only works in the tiny amount of times he made a flush really, everything else in his range is a call/fold.

I think since you have not mentioned anything about villain's style of play so i would assume you have no reads on him yet. In that case i would go for a value bet since we do not want to b missing value in this spot. Hope he has a king and pays us off will be the basic strategy for me.

But if the villain is aggressive and someone who like making plays then this is a good spot to check and come over the top.

w/o reads or aggression from opponent, this is a pretty standard bet on the river. Even if your opponent bets weak for value with TP, his sizing may suck and he's going to fold to a CR, so you miss a lot of value versus just betting. There's really no second best hands he'll be calling with to a CR if he didn't show any strength unless he flopped it, and in that case, he's likely raising the river any ways. This is stuff all of the 1/2 decent regs will know on PS at this limit.

Since you opened preflop, and have lead out on the flop and the turn, there is a possibility that you're opponent doesn't put you on flush, infact if he is a semi-decent player, he would think that you're 3 barreling, since the heart on the river didn't scare you.
I think, do what most people wouldn't expect, make a big bet (3/4th of the pot), and bet quickly, such that you're opponent thinks, that your decision to bet the river was preplanned.
If your opponent had a weak king, or straight draw you were not going to win any more money from anyways, as he would've checked back or folded to value bet. Best thing to do is make your opponent believe that you're bluffing, by betting quickly and betting big!

Always bet in this situation, your hand is very well disguised. There is a good chance he might even raise you with QT or even a set as long as you bet less than the pot.

I always bet in this situation. If you're lucky that the opponent has a good hand, you'll get the maximum
