No, you definitely don't HAVE to call the river bet. A lot depends on your feel of the situation and how you think this player would play draws/sets. I usually pay this one off though.

Checking the turn induces a bluff. It's not that great to increase the amount of hands villain bets with if you are going to fold. That said, with a good read, it's definitely foldable.

i fold, it's pretty obvious to me that he's beating you. The bluff possibility is not big enough to give you odds to call.

Yea but we cant put him on only a bluff or a flush/straight. I call here and expect to see a hand that beats me a decent amount of the time, but I also expect to see complete air and a hand like TP that thought they were value betting that river

Get better at rivering or and you won't have to make such tough decisions.
