How should we play this river, what would be the best action to take?

a) Ck/C - hoping he's going to try and bluff with a busted flush draw.
b) Bet half pot fold to shove (villan possibly having slow played a bigger flush
c) Shove pot size bet for maximum value hoping villan has a 8x,3x, or maybe an overpair (unlikely has a overpair)

Villan reads
SB- No reads, he's just joined the table
MP- Again not much of a sample- 60/7 over 30 hands. Classic fish at these stakes

The Question is really what the best way to get the most value as i'm almost always ahead here.

Shove river. Effective stacks are a little over a $1, and the pot is $1.72. Both players are fish and will call with worse flushes (not many left), straights, sets and two pair.
