I pot the river precisely because I think it will make my hand look like flush/bluff. Villain pretty much always has showdown value here, so if he’s raising, it means he can beat most flushes, and I just don’t see him feeling that way with a T-high flush. Not that it’s relevant here because he doesn’t and apparently I’m not, but if Villain knows I’m making laydowns like this, then he ought to bluff any time he has the bare Qc.
