Anyway people who want to check anywhere are nuts just keep betting until it goes in calling any raise unless it goes check check bet shove call on the flop and then prob call anyway.
I think you always have good post and you seem like a really good player, but can't agree with the last part of your post here.
First part is totally true, raise more for value, not to fold them out, but shoving it in mindlessly here just doesn't seem that good to me. Don't see anything wrong with checking back the turn. J and flush is definitively in his range here, and although it only is a 4.40, I don't see why we should go crazy.
I doubt I'm folding if he bets river, and tbh, I'm probably not folding in this situation either, but I just think checking back turn is a much better play than shoving this.
