Should I check the turn instead of trying to push out small pairs? I think I have the pot odds to call the turn raise since it’s so small.

The V shoving the river suggests that they are a weaker player therefore I would check back turn as we are still getting value on river when we hit and we protect our HU stack advantage if we miss river.

Why weak? what worse hand calls them? what better hand folds? They do not even have the Kh blocker which at least would block some of your flush holdings on the turn.
