-villain is unknown but up till the point of this hand was running about 30/20/1.5 over only 100 or so hands mind you
-saw him have 77 earlier and call a T high flop and then the flush card on turn was also his set and he called down 3 barrels from villain without raising the set (scared of flush?)
-There's $722 left on river and pot is $650. What's the best river line?

I don't understand turn bet sizing at all. I bet like 230-260 on the turn and shove river.

hmmm this is like the opposite of zook's suggestion of c/f.

I decided to size my bet smaller on the turn, since I feel as though we get a fold a very high % of the time in this spot given the flush card came. I wanted to keep some more marginal 1 pair hands in.

I can't imagine what worse hands would be calling a shove on this river (assuming villain isn't a commplete donk) aside from maybe KJ sometimes. Wouldn't a small bet/fold be better than a shove? (more worse hands call and we can still sort of get away from a better hand shoving)

Well turn sizing aside. "opposite" in the sense of c/f river is pretty much the opposite of shoving river. Regardless of what I bet on the turn (unless I made a completely committing bet), the decision to shove or c/f should be constant on river.

If anything, betting less on turn should keep more worse hands in, such that shoving would have even better equity vs his range in that scenario.
