Semi FT 5 Euro - we are both pretty big stacks so some ICM - Table on the whole is playing very tight. V is not real reg but seems decent at this level 19/17/11 over 160 hands. Agg post-flop. Our image is prob fairly aggressive. Played it a bit conservatively here thinking that if stacks go in i'm rarely good. Maybe too conservatively?

ICM is not a factor until FT. Payouts in this stage are flat. You have to play for the win.
Played fine until river. Why you didn't raise the nut flush here? Afraid of monsters under the bed??
V is randomly clicking 1/2 pot turn and river, he probably has SDV. Raise river to 70000 or you are leaving money on the table

ICM is not huge but is a factor - esp big stack vs big stack - May well be in V's mind also -

You may be right about the river - you r/f or r/c?

Raise/call for sure
What range does he check back the flop? I don't think 99 and JJ, even less KJ/J9. The only boat that made sense is KK slowplayed on the flop
I agree, icm a factor but not relevant for the decisions you make here. I go +cEV pretty much always in 2/3 tables. Maybe on the FT bubble you can start to apply icm

Raise because it would be a risky flop for KK to check back.

But I don't have great faith in opponents ability to not slowplay in silly spots so I'm not over the moon with r/c.

Is leading the river out of the question?

Reckon a river 3b is almost always nutted here so if we x/r, we have to fold.
