Default Time for a Blocking Bet?

Villain is 30/11/1 over a small sample size.

What's the plan of action when the river completes the flush. Do you check/call or check/fold depending on the bet size or is it better to place a blocking bet in which you could fold to a re-raise?

Ultimate Bet
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50./$1.
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $135.60
UTG+1: $32.60
CO: $99.30
Button: $19
Hero: $112.75
BB: $245.15

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3.75</font>, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($8.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $6</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($20.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $16</font>, UTG calls.

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($52.5, 2 players)
Hero ?

Yeah, you can block this.

He seems passive, so I wouldn't worry as much of being bluff-raised off of it.

So call if you think they're shoving over a blocker (although not in this spot probably), or make fake blockers with the nuts.

a block here looks good. Villain looks medicore so he'll pay off with worse and not ever bluff raise.
