What should be my river play here with 2nd nuts?
Posting this because it got discussed in chat box... and have played a lot vs villain in last month and he's not seen any of our hands in the clinic so far! I think I expect and accept certain answers, but we'll see.
Villain is one of the better players at NL10 imo and quite aggressive. When he calls BvB I'm expecting him to float a lot of flops and try to take the pot away if I show weakness.
Therefore flop call doesn't narrow things down in my head, but feel like he must have something to call the turn as I'd have expected a fold or a raise here - so we're putting him on a draw (FD / QJ or a very unlikely 45) at this stage.
Then I hit my card better than hoped on the river... looking back I hate my sizing here and should have been much closer to pot sized. Really don't know why I sized it so small.
But when facing the raise, what option next? This completely felt like a bluff (or hand turned into a bluff) or the nuts... against a solid player what hands will call if I raise/shove this spot?

Its a BDF. Villain will sigh call with worse flushes here.
Just going by the hand and what you've said river sizing seems alright.
