A good thing to keep in mind is... What will your action accomplish.

Straights are a strong hand obv, but consider the board. It has a flush and boat possibilities.

Since all the cards are out really your only decision it whether or not to value bet since you're not betting to protect anything anymore. Since your hand is good but far from great considering the board I'd check it.

This is never a bet on the river.
This looks so much like a flush or a strong made hand on the flop played "extra smart"!
This guy was certainly dancing when you bet the river CELEBRATION!
