    Default Check behind with set - losing value?

    Villain is 50/9. On the flop he hesitated a bit, and on the turn he hesitated a lot and almost timed out. I put him on a weak ace, like AT, or a spade draw.

    Am I losing a lost of value by checking this river? I really hated seeing that spade. Is he checking a flush here? Is he calling a push with A9, AT or AJ? I have $23 behind on the river.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    zomg push
    i always push sets when checked to on river with less than a psb behind unless board is ridiculously scary, i.e. 4 to a flush. Depending on opponent i will often push sets when there are 4 to a straight depending on the action and i have 2/3 pot or less remaining.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Your hand is usually good, and he isn't folding, so go all-in.

    Opponent you described almost always has a weak ace here.

    Any analysis on opponents post flop play? I mean, 50/9 doesn't make him a total donkey, some players can play ranges like that and be successful. Only reason I say that is it'd be unlikely for him to be calling that turn bet if he plays well postflop on a flush draw.

    With everyone else, I'd say push the river.
