$1650 HPT Main hand against Adam Friedman Day 2

I took 4th in this event and it will air nationally on television June 6th

My image: Opening a lot, young, people ask to see my I.D. and hate to fold against me

Adam: The only player at the table who may have a looser image than me. Extremely tricky player.

1k/2k/200a level

I have 195k

I open limp AThh utg+2

I didn't want to play a big pot oop against Adam as he has been very active and he has button. Even if he raises no worries as I'm ahead of his button raising range and AThh flops well and I'm comfortable playing this hand post flop even oop as we are both fairly deep

Adam limps btn behind

Flop Jh2h2c

I check
Adam bets 2k
I call 2k

I don't like a check raise here as all I do is build the pot if he calls and I'm oop and we are still very deep. Not wanting to race for all my chips at this point, and I have some showdown value and if I raise I feel like I'm only getting called if I'm beat anyway and it makes it tough for me to get more value in the hand if I hit my flush.

Turn is 4h giving me the nut flush
I ck again hoping he will bet
Adam bets 5k
I call 5k.

I feel like a check raise polarizes my hand and it's hard for him to continue without a made hand and the chances of him bluffing are slim. I also want to give him a chance to bluff river if he has nothing.

River is Qc

I check again hoping he will bluff.

He overbets pot with 30k bet

I'm never folding, but do I raise or just call the river here wasn't sure if I made the right decision?

Let me know your thoughts and I will share what my action was on the river.

I look forward to seeing my monster hand at the final table where I get KK aipf against KQ for monster stack and lose...
