A decent re-raise pf or a pot sized bet on the flop and I am folding.
Seems to have been a lot more slowplaying of KK and AA recently, long may it continue.

Is my river bet OK here ? If I bet too much then the only hands he is calling with will beat me. If I bet too little he could re-raise big representing the flush.

I'd be tempted to check behind. You have the best hand more than likely, but if you don't - even sometimes if you do - he might come back over the top of you with a big raise. A flush is very probable here given the way he played the hand, and if he were a decent player he might bluff the flush and re-raise you on a read. This is one situation where I don't know if a bet is profitable. If you were first to act I think you have to bet - not for value, but to prevent an easy steal. But being 2nd with him checking to you, you can just check down and get a free showdown.

I check here. If you didn't put him on a big pair, a flush is the most like;y hand to call. IMO. I either bet for value, or check, depending on how frisky the opponent might be.

Also, you are correct about people SP'ing big pairs at $25 big bet PTY. You can usually peg these guys with GameTime pretty easily.
