Comments? I bet the pot on the river to make it look like a missed flush draw. better to check raise? Play it more aggressive earlier? I only played it because i was in a blind and I had a suited Ace.

between those two options, i like the CR.

the reason i like to value bet is because i sometimes make value bets with strong non-nut hands, so i'm actually looking for the fold. value betting with the goods gives good deception value for times that you don't have the nuts.

I don't like the CR at all. IMO 95% of players just check this down with a monumental scare card hitting on the river.

My tastes lean towards making smaller bets on that sort of river, as you really want a curiosity call from a set/2-pair hand. However, the full bet might be better in this specific situation as it's very possible he's made a smaller straight or (in a 25 game) that he'll be fishy enough to call with a set here. The fact that there's a flush draw on the board makes it just about possible you'll get him to call, as you said, on the off-chance you're bluffing a missed flush.
