FR, nut flush OTR. What to do?

I'd play the same way and pray that he has the K♥:. No need for second thoughts. He is probably not bluffing much on that board, and certainly not with many smaller flushes and maybe a set or two that will call. If he folded T♥:, then it is bad luck. Such a player is too nitty to bet them anyway.

I think most of the time we are vs a smaller flush and I like to push.

I don't think he will call our push with any flush, even K-high flush is questionable because he know that he doesn't have the nuts. I would rather bet something like 1/2 and expect calls from almost any flush. I believe it will be more profitable in the long run.

When you bet 1/2 he will see you are committed. Shove instead.

I don't think he will see that. He will just see that the call with T-high flush is not too expensive to make.

Don't agree on that. If someone is going to pay- he will pay.

It is easy to see that he should rationally speaking be folding much more to a pot-sized bet than a half-pot bet. But people get confused to the extreme and tend to devalue the larger bet-size (totally illogically) and see it more or less as a bluff (why would he betting that big with the NUTS?). As long as we don't lose half of the audience, betting pot is better than betting half-pot. This is a reverse FPS syndrome, and it does certainly exist.

I agree with the half-pot bet here. People on this level would call whatever they have if they have anything(it happened to me that I was bluff-shoving and was called some 6 or 7 in Villain's hand).
If he had flush, he would rather re-raise to this in my opinion.

I think the turn-raise by Mr. Villain was a test for the FD, given by the size (only 2x of the bet) - once it called then it means that we would not fold to anything later on.

I'm also pushing here, and hoping for K♥: and hero calls with low flushes, which come in more often than one thinks. I can see the smaller bet too though, and I think the only way to know how this works out over the long run is test it, because it's so dependent on how they play on average, and not on the "logic" of the hand.
