Bodog 5/10 full-ring how should I milk my rivered straight?

I lead for $500. Villain folded, claiming he had flopped top two. In hindsight, I think leading for $300 is optimal, since you're still likely to pick up a call from non-straight hands, and if he has a straight he will likely re-raise all-in.

Actually, optimal would be to fold the flop to the check raise.

I agree.

I would just push the river, pots huge and people don't like to fold good hands in big pots

I don't want him just flat calling with a Q on the river so i bet allin. I wouldn't have claled all those huge bets though with just a straight draw, esp since if you flat call the short stack's bet what do you do if the oter guy reraises a whole lot and you are forced to fold your straight draw after just calling that big bet?

I like all-in as well. He would have to suck pretty bad to
a) call $300 without a Q (especially since u would have to be bluffing a dry side pot) or b)raise the rest of his chips with a lone Q and expect a call from a worse hand. AQ is also a very legitimate potential holding, as it would be double-gutted on the flop and I dont see how a single Q can fold to your all-in bet with the pot being as big as it is. How he doesn;t raise the turn w/top 2 is beyond me, your check cold-call on the flop must have freaked him out a little bit.
