CO(villain) is well known to you so of course you're well known to him. You're action here depends on history between you two.
What will he have that can call your river shove with? Set? No way with this action. 2 pair? No way. Straight? Maybe but we hold 97dd blockers. The way this board and betting ran out we're only getting called on a river shove if he has us beat.......(tho could always fold out a bigger flush that's not the nuts/near nuts)
Also, the UTG player sounds like the type who might easily call the $100 with as little as 1 pair.
Though, who knows, maybe he'll even call the jam? Also, since our flush is BD and the river bettor is a station and the pot is huge, I think shove is best.
Also, why I wouldn't raise flop. Against a conservative, regular player it could be a good play because they have all these people who called the flop behind them and PPs start to look pretty bad. My guess is that this V just plays his hand.
