Re: value betting rivers

I'd bet more on the turn.
If he's got a jack he's calling 130-140 often and if he's on the spade/straight draw that still gives him about 3/1 implied odds to draw.
With that in mind I think you can still get value from a jack, perhaps just put a teaser of $100 out, he'll struggle not to call that if he's holding a jack.

I agree with a larger turn bet, and river you can probably make a smallish value bet. I haven't finished reading PNLHE so I don't understand the commitment, but why do you have to call a c/r? If villain is passive and won't try to put a move on you (most players around here are not going to try to bluff you here, although they will c/r their flush), you can make a small value bet. To me, a small value bet means like 70-90 here.
Such a small bet will look like the nuts to some players, because that's how they bet their full house/nut flush. A J will probably call the 70/90 and you don't lose so much if he c/r you.
