What I thought he had was like busted heart flush draw, set (but probably had played it faster on the flop, but against that opponent I wouldnt had been suprised if he slowplayed it), or two pair. Backdoor flush draw really seemed very long-shot.

Questions:

Should I bet for value on the river? Thats where I make quite many mistakes, not betting on the river, if I think opponent could have stronger hand, but often they dont. Should it be like bet for the value, but fold when getting reraised?

Should I make bigger bets? People really like to go for the flush draws, especially weak players and usually 2/3 pot size bet dosnt take them off. Is 2/3 of the pot bet fine or should I even bet the whole pot and fold when flush comes? They arnt getting right odds with 2/3 bet sizing and I pretty much want them to chase flushdraws.
