The river raise is really bad imo. I would have played it the same vs an unknown villian except that I would only call the river.

The only hand that will call your raise on the river is hands that have you beat so the river raise is unnecessary.

Cant really see what you want to accomplish with the river raise.
Just bet flop and as played call river.

If we bet flop, what do we do if villain check turn? b/f or check? and if check what do we do if he bets river?

I would like to know the reason why we have to bet flop?
I thought we have to check hands with showdown equity because if vilain c/r it is like burning money for us.
Am I wrong?
