flush river board

[spence]

I like just under 3/4 pot here.  anywhere 65-70% feels right (although i would usually bet 72-73% because I'd have bet 2/3 on the flop as well as the turn and 3x streets of 2/3 causes similar issues to the 1/2 pot river bet here).  In a vacuum I really don't like 1/2 pot/fold on the river as it will encourage people to turn a 2nd best made hand into a bluff. I agree with the previous posters who said he isn't going to have bricks here, but a weaker made hand is way way more likely than a draw. 

It is a BvB pot tho so its perfectly possible that gameflow/reads can make the spazzier lines fine.

he played flop and turn fine and you gave him the opportunity to take the pot away from him, do you bet 1/2 pot with flush here? your bet screamed of what it was.

It's interesting to me that instinctively so many peeps liked the 1/2 pot size bet specifically to fold to RR, If this is ppls standard line here it's not beyond the realms of possibility the villains encountered this situation before

It's so much more difficult for him to make this move if you bet bigger.

reading through the reasons to bet 3/4 pot or more on the river, this explanation makes sense Bolt i don't agree with it because i still prefer the check call...but your reason nearly makes me change my mind
