I thought about R sizing. I think that he should check a lot on this river. His range is like 99+ and some better 8x. I don't think people check in these spots flushes, so I decided to bet ~1/2. Was that sizing OK or you would bet smaller/bigger?

I don't think you should bet some amount if you don't know how to react vs a raise.

1. This is a good spot for him to check-raise a boat. You'll have so many 8X and flushes in your range. 99+ 3bets in BvB really often. He also min-raised meaning that you probably have 86o+ here which is a heck lot of 8X combos. And of course you have some flush draws.

2. We are targeting hands like 99-AA here if we do choose to bet. Those hands would always check-fold vs a normal size bet IMO. What air do you really rep here? Are you really turning 55 into a bluff here? Probably not and I don't think you need to, though you might want to turn some Ace highs into bluffs if you did opt to call twice.

I don't think this guy is thinking on that level so he is check-folding super often. So a good option is to put in a tiny bet like 25% pot. You'll get so many crying calls, and you'll get some bluff raises (you can snap it off without too much thought).
