So we’re beat some of the time here, but we bet so small on this river that there’s a significant amount of Tx value that we beat. I’m just always calling here, esp in a cash game.

As you say, V has Tx in range. Should we 3bet to try to extract more value?
Also, you noted that my river bet was small. Should I have used a bigger size?

Call here all day. He has many more trips and A highs then he does flushes. A lot of the hands that could beat you would have bet the turn. Did some playing around on Flopzilla and ended up here:

In game, I called. My thinking was that I lose to full houses and better flushes. Value target was only trips. It seemed too thin in the moment.
However, I now think that I should have raised. On the turn there are two flush draws. Sets and 2 pair would very rarely (never?) check the turn. This rules out full houses.
Picking up the extra equity of a back door FD, V likely bets the turn. This reduces the number of made flushes. As3s and Ks3s are the most probable FD check backs. This is only 2 combos.
Making our BD flush makes the strength of hand a bit hidden. We have a lot of Tx that could take the same line (call flop cbet and lead river with trips). V could call river 3bet with their strongest trips.
