Your turn bet size could be better. You've left $1.77 behind in a $1.55 river pot. Betting $0.54 on the turn would leave $1.67 behind in a $1.75 river pot, and betting $0.64 on the turn would leave $1.57 behind in a $1.95 river pot. Either of these are a bit more favorable river scenarios and get more value out of draws.

Is this a good time for me to axe a question? So, let's assume our bet sizing is good and we are ready to bet the river for value. However, we know villian is a CS (calling station), and the flush completes on the river. Do we go ahead with our value bet as planned, make a smaller blocking-bet, check-call, check-fold? This is a common scenario and has probably been discussed many times. One more won't hurt.

Put your opponent on a range, decide how they play that range, and then the answer falls into your lap.

If he has J9, just bad luck. I would see a flush as more probable with his playing of the hand. on flop if i have the nuts and there are 2 clubs on board, your going to pay to get a third, right? I reraise there almost every time. I would either check/crying call up to pot sized bet or block bet/ fold to reraise.

Side note, but going from the flop to the turn, if you set up a turn SPR of 4 or less, then you can get the rest of the money in on the turn/river without having to overbet the pot. For example, suppose the flop pot is $0.50 with $4.75 left behind. Then betting $0.25 (or more) heads-up sets up a turn pot of $1 (or more) with $4 (or less) left behind, for an SPR of less than or equal to 4. If the turn pot is $1 heads-up with $4 behind and you bet pot, the river pot will be $3 with $3 left behind, etc.

Similarly, in a heads-up pot, a flop SPR of 13 or less before any betting means you can get all of the money in over 3 streets of betting without overbetting the pot at any point.
