Strong hands OOP on flush boards

I believe there is more value in situations like this then I was able to extract in this case. It there better lines we can use?

Assume a totally random average player.

saw flop|saw showdown

Hero ($122.10)
BB ($120.75)
UTG ($104.40)
MP ($110.86)
Button ($55.90)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, K. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Hero (poster) raises to $4.5, 1 fold, MP calls $4.

Flop: ($11) 3, T, A (2 players)
Hero bets $7, MP calls $7.

Turn: ($25) J (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $18, Hero calls $18.

River: ($41) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.

Bet the river.

Sorry, just realized I hate it when people answer like that w/out giving their logic. I think:

- You have a very strong hand
- Villain could have a wide range of hands that you beat and much smaller that beats you
- Average villain is weak/tight/passive and will check behind the river here w/ many hands you beat, including two pair and sometimes even sets.
- Average villain will often just call Hero's river value bet w/ better hands, like low/mid flushes.
- Average villain does not fire a second bullet on the river if he was floating the rest of the hand.
- Average villain certainly does not push over a river value bet by Hero with a weaker hand--meaning Hero does not often have to make tough all-in decision.

Therefore, bet the river.

Convertor really messed up the river pot size and confuzed me for a while. Pot is $61 on the river, I'd bet $40.

Want fries to go with your weaksauce?

I bet or check/raise the turn. Certainly bet the river.

Heads-up to the flop, if he's got the flush then good for him. Too many other hands pay off.

I'd bet the turn and river. Fold to a raise.

I bet the river for ½ pot and fold to a raise (block/value bet).

why is your name in red on the river? You bet it didn't you
