Default Possible flush completes river. Allin? 50nl

I am fairly new to the table and dont have any solid reads. Its only a PSB on river to go all in so do we go ahead with it. If we are checking its to check fold which i hate doing but it may be necessary as I feel theres deffinitely lost value somewhere in his range. Anything less then all in is silly as we are committed anyways.

With no reads or stats it's tough to say whether he's drawing to the flush. He could easily have an Ace here. I'd probably check with a view to calling a bet, he's likely to bluff that river card also.

The decision is either check/fold (unless he bets small) or shove. He either has AJ-A7 that you beat or a flush. He will rarely bluff river or valuebet worse if you check, so check/calling a significant bet is bad. Occasionally he has two pair or set, but his most likely hand is either a bluff catcher to your hand or a flush. Some questions to consider are what range of Ax hands is he calling with, and how likely he is to call turn with a bare FD. Also, Ax which calls the flop will never fold on the turn so you the only question regarding these hands is how often he has Ax preflop (since he plays postflop exactly like this with most one pair Ax hands). Finally, you need to judge whether he can make a big call with one pair here only beating a bluff. Without more info I'd say that shove should be your default play. Even though he gets paid with his FDs, that only occurs when we have a hand that can beat every bluff catcher and is not a flush (or when we bluff which shouldn't be TOO often in this spot!).
