Shoving the river would be your worse option.

Ask yourself the question; why you think shoving the river is good at all?

Look at the board texture. What on earth do you honestly expect him to call a river jam? I can only see better full houses or nut flushes at worse calling. Results aside, of course if you jammed this time, he probs would of called with the nut flush, however we don't know his hand..therefore..it makes zero sense to shove.

Basically he calls NOTHING that you beat and will only call hands which beat you.

At least by betting smaller like you did; you will get value from worse hands that would never of called a jam, like Jx maybe, lots of club hands Thankfully; he rolls up with the nut flush and gets his chips in.

What reason do you think shoving is best option though? I'm curious.

the play how you did it was the right way, if he is a aggressive player i would even have tried a check behind, be happy he had the flush so this added lots of value for you just play it like this the next time as well !!!

About 1/2 pot feels good on the river, of course if you'd bet bigger on the turn 1/2 pot would have been an extra few BBs.

By only betting half the pot it looks like u ether are trying to steal buy representing the flush or that you have Tx and am afraid of the flush

He had to think u had a weak flush or a ten, I wouldn't of played the hand any different my friend :)

But certainly don't open shove on the river that would be the 2nd worst play behind folding lol

I really like your reasoning behind your point here.

It's so true..
