Plus you dictate how many chips you want to risk, whereas checking it over to the opponent would give him control of the pot. He probably won't raise you with air here because you called his 3-bet, so if anything he's probably going to respect a bet on the river and put you on a hand.
Yea it's an easy fold, but I just would feel so gross about it. The blocking bet is a great point, because after he calls the turn bet I' m in "get to showdown as cheap as possible" mode. I thought his range was really polarized here and heavily weighted towards a bluff on the river, but definitely should have bet this river to better define the situation. I did feel great about the play as I did it based on his betting patterns, and I didn't expect him to bluff at the river.
lol, man that is some advanced thinking for $10NL. You're definately going to do well as you progress to higher stakes. I doubt his range has any junk in it here but great job at making a strong analysis of the situation.
