Hi

You should just shove the River yourself.

It makes no sense to checkraise here because your opponent will often check back worse hands that he would otherwise call a bet with.

He has few bluffs here, and we cannot expect him to value bet thinly on this 4-flush board.

Tks mbml for your advice. At this limit, many ppl bluff AI river if opponent checks so I intend to check/ raise here.
I edited the whole hand history. My check success but do you think it is right to raise here or just fold. His betting looks strong but I cannot fold.
Thanks.

If you want to check, it's a check-call and not a check-raise.

I would say that his betting range is going to be more polarized (A:hX, full houses).

Weaker flushes like 9:h will often just check back although he might occasionally overplay them.

Against a range of J:hX, A:hX and full houses, your hand is an underdog so you should check-call if you think he's going to bluff.
