I'll tend to check top or even middle pair hands on the river oop often when I'm pretty sure that my opponent is on a draw to try and induce a bluff, but when I have a strong hand in position on the river, I usuallly tend to bet, even when a draw completes or on a dangerous board when my opponent checks. Should I not be doing this very often?
Example from a few days ago: ($50 FR)

Long story short, flop

UTG+1 check-calls all the way to the river. I feel it's a safe bet when he checks again until he puts in a 4x c/r of my bet. I pay off his flopped boat with pocket 5's.
I'm falling for this move about once or twice per session lately, except yesterday when I checked behind when the flush card came twice and both times it was the nuts vs my set and straight.
Is it combatable? I can't just start checking every potentially unpleasant river.
