$2/5 200-500
Villain 1 ($800) 60's white guy. Started drinking whiskey. Likes to call although he'll randomly limp and fold to small raises. I've seen him bluff busted flush draws on the river twice already, but I don't think he's going rep draws. Usually plays his hands fairly fast if he flopped something big.
Villain 2 ($425) 20's white guy. Playing way too aggro and bad. Cold 4b TT preflop and a super weak tight guy 3b/folded AKs. He also bet $35/shoved $400 in a $50 limped, straddled pot on KQJhh. I had T9 and raised/called the flop. Board ran out Jx3x (no heart) and I won and he didn't show. If he had a flush he's not checking turn.
Hero ($950) Stacked villain 2 in the hand above. Other than that haven't really got a ton of hands. Earlier I raised QTdd over 2 limps and a nitty woman limp/called. She check/called AQ on QQJss, then it ran out 6s 5s - she donked like 1/4 pot OTT and checked river, I checked and we both showed and she won.

, villain 2 calls OTB, blinds check
I often raise this but the players were pretty terrible and didn't fold so I just wanted to play a pot in position while keeping their dominated hands in.

Villain 2 checks, hero?
Do I bet small here? Villain 2 could have something but be afraid of the flush. He could have any q.
Unless villain has a set, I don't really have to protect against anything with my straight + NFD. I'm thinking I could bet something like $50 and encourage someone with QxJd to call, maybe j9 might call again etc where if I bet big they might be afraid I have a flush already.
Also if V2 somehow does have a flush, if I bet smaller and get raised the raise will be smaller and I can call more easily.
Do you ever check here and bet river? I guess it sucks to get raised but if I'm against a flush I only have 7 outs anyway.
Or do I just make a standard big bet and hope to get called by worse.
