Did i play this nut flush anywhere near correctly?

Hi guys. NL8 Cash. Is the river play a valid move here? My thinking was player 'x' is a calling station and player 'y' is the big stack and has been quite aggressive. With 4 clubs sitting in the community cards i felt that an all in shove would probably get called by one of them. I am thinking if they call anything it might be a donk bet on the end. Should i have just bet for value? And how much should i have bet? Thankyou.

I don't like the half-pot bet on flop, if you're gonna bet it needs to be around 26-30p, but really a check/fold could be best as there was no raise pre and your sort of blind.

With two calls the 16p into 80 OOP on turn is pretty horrible, I'd just check here and hope for a free river.

When you get there it's probably best to just bet a standard £1 - £1.15.

Overall though I would advise to NOT bluff at micro stakes, it canny work.

I should have bet more on the flop as i had top pair top kicker. Should have made it pot sized! I realise that and i realise the bet on the turn is very weak and i think the fact that the flush was possible slowed me down a bit. When the board had 4 clubs i thought that with two villains left that even if one had a decent club card in their hand then i would get a caller so got a bit greedy.
