only problem is, villains at this level just aren't folding top pair on the turn.
They aren't. You can rep that flush all you like, and villain will look you dead in the eye and say, "You got the flush huh?"
and then villain will call you. If I had a nickel for everytime villains at this level called my turn and river double barrel while saying out loud, "I know i'm beat" i'd have a lot of nickels.
Come turn, best play is to pot control and hope for a river A, 4, or heart.
getting a check check is exactly what we want.
trying to steal turn at this level is on the spewy side. Take the free card and be happy.

Yes, even on a four to a flush board. Happens so often that folding to a river bet in this situation is absolutely out of the question.
The only real question, is are we feeling gangsta enough to go for a value 3bet raise here
like I said above, flatting is not terrible, but no way in hell i'm folding at this level. 95% of the time, our flush is the nuts here.
If this happened to be the 5% where villain has a FH or quads, so be it.
