Now ... Two ways of thinking about it ...
During the hand my thinking process was this.
After c/r flop, turn FD hits, so if I want to rep flush, why would I bet big and scare the villain off his hand?
So betting smallish makes sense "story wise" that I'm trying to tell and also, I give myself a cheaper price for drawing ...
Now river I actually make TPTK, so I underbet to hopefully get to SD cheaply (and I would also probably underbet the river with the nuts to induce either a bluffshove or a light call from marginal holdings that wouldn't pay me off otherwise).
This was my thinking process during the hand ...
But in actuality, there's also the possibility that when I c/r flop and bet turn smallishly, villain might put me on a scared set and bluffshove me off it.
So I should instead bet turn big for max fold equity and then the pot would also be big enough for me to shove any river comfortably as I have the nuts blocker.
