$10 NLHE 6-max: OK to go for a river c/r with nut FH or do we need to lead for value?

Zoom, no reads or stats so assuming villain plays fairly straight forward.

Don't mind calling with QQ from blinds from EP raiser every now and then, as Zoom tends to be very tight.

Not sure I like my flop check raise, but his bet is tiny. My check raise signals a pretty polarized range towards 66, KJ, a weak Q or total air and he will call with worse (than my nut set). Obviously stacking off if re-raised but a call signals he has one-pair, either overpair, a single Q or T. Maaaaybe KJ.

Bet-sizing turn, any comments? Tried to keep him in pot, and/or inducing a raise with a flush draw (although unlikely), doubt overpairs are folding..

River T action card, also completes flush. Any T, overpair or flush should bet this when checked to, while anything else likely would fold to a bet. I decided to go for a c/r, should I lead out here again instead?

really hate flatting pre -- you really need a good read to assume that 3-betting QQ is bad vs. his EP range. as such it's hard for you to get value out of the nuts as you start 150 BBs deep and have no real way to get stacks in DESPITE check-raising the flop.

river: fake block bet

Well, didn't assume I was behind but I have struggled lately with 3-bet pots oop when I get floated and therefore wanted to be able to pot control if necessary (c/c 3 streets even possible).

As for the fake block bet, is that better than acting scared of the flush card and paired board?

Mostly his range is weak on the river, if you super-coolered him and he has QT/66 you would have known by now and overpairs are also unlikely. Tx and backdoor flushes are as likely to raise as they are to bet if checked to.

So give him good odds to call with KQ/AQ/JJ/99 or even make a hero call with AK instead of checking down his marginal SDV. It also gives him plenty of room to spazz as he can also interpret a small river bet as weakness as if you are going for a b/f.
