I only had around 35 hands on Villain, but seemed TAGish with maybe only moderate AG; nothing too out of the ordinary. I expected a fold on the turn. I think this river bluff is +EV given how I got there, but I wanted to check with you folks. How often am I walking into a trappy flush or boat? Is Villain likely to believe I have a flush given that I didn't take a free card on the turn? (Villain probably doesn't have much of a read on me.)

Don't shove. I think raise to $15 accomplishes the same. I think raising flop is better, you have position and a great draw with probably both overcards as outs. Good spot to double barrell. As played I take free card on turn. Definitely looks like a weak blocking bet but meh... don't need to go crazy here.

I wouldn't try to push anyone off an overpair or AJ and I can't imagine what else he has here. Had he made a strong bet on the flop I'm more likely to try something like this. Villain seems like a real donk judging by his bet sizing and I don't like making huge bluffs against them.
