Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
You flopped an OESD, so C-betting is certainly fine. Its a small detail, but half pot is rarely the preferred size, and this is not the most connected flop, so I would go for something less than half pot.

Turn
I can go both ways here. You picked up 7 more outs to a flush, which is of course great, buy 2d is not exactly a scare card for him. So I dont think, you have a ton of fold equity, but your hand is so strong now, that you are also betting to build the pot for the nuts, and if he check-raise, you wont be loving it, but you can get it, so he cant deny your equity. So I am ok betting here, but I would go slightly bigger to set it up for an easier river jam, and perhaps even get some weak made hands to fold.

River
You rivered the nuts, and now he donk lead into you. This is a dream situation, and when he have so little behind, there is no reason to do anything but jam.

AGG is fine here- we want to think more deeply about our sizing reasons- We need to know why are we betting half pot?
In a bounty tournament with the V's bounty on the line and us having a nut draw do we really want the V folding more of their BB range? Do we need any protection? We are never folding flop so if we are trying to get under pairs-weak Jx to fold would we not use a 2 street strategy-
How do we respond to a check raise? How often is the V XR this spot and what range?

Skipping pre as its an open and I like the sizing. On the flop I prefer a check since the Q and J hits a lot of BB's defend range and even though we would be denying some equity if they would have random small cards that would/could fold to a c bet I like checking here and seeing the turn for free. Add in some minimal amount of check raises that we could face where we could get trapped and committed to the hand and it makes this a spot where I would rather play this as a two street hand and not a 3 street hand. Checking here condenses the hand, makes it easier/minimizes the mistakes we can make going forward, and pot controls. If they do have a Q or a J and we hit the hand later then we should be able to get action and be able to make the pot large and get receptiveness doing it.

On the turn I would bet if I had checked the flop since even though we would rarely have a 2 in our range its a spot where I dont want villain to bluff the river with a large bet that gets me off the hand when I dont hit and K high could be good here so I like betting small just to retain the betting lead going to the river. It will cost me some money when I hit the hand (since villain will bluff less but potentially buy me the hand when we miss and villain has nothing). For the same reason why I wouldnt have a 2 is similar to why I think villain would not check raise here (since the 2 shouldnt have helped them either) so my concerns for that would lessen a lot. As played since we bet the flop I think either choice is fine. You can bet to setup a river shove if you get there or you can check and take the free card. If I had to take a choice I would check (but thats just me).

On the river we get everything we want, we have the nutters and we get led into so this a no brainer stuffy baker here and hope they call.

Here, the agression mets the game. Your view on how strong your hand, and how strong your outs / position is very good.

Flopped J4Q , totally fine bet from you and only a call from opp. Now, we are controlling the party, and all the A and 9 gets us winner. If the Turn is off, we can check it easily without any harm. K is maybe not an out for us, but we built up a situation on flop that not going to broke with it.
Turn puts a diamond, which is very cool. People giving not so much credibility to runner-runner flush in this kind of situation I believe. So I kind of see a passive bet-call pattern on this case, and it happened.
Seems an off card on the River, but it perfectly hit you. Now opp targetting all your bluffs and strong hands, he probably get there 2 pairs at least. Easy 3bet shove and a call. Nice hand!

I liked your bet-sizes tho, and this 2 street bet line as well. Its a strong Button hand, and a strong set-up for it as well.
