River straight, flush hits, shoved on, 5/10

Villain is redargoe, runs pretty tight around 19/13 and seems like a pretty good player. Calls flop bets pretty light so i've started 2 barreling light. Don't think hes seen me make any big 3 barrel bluffs though. He's been kind of running over me and getting the better of me in general.

2nd barrel is pretty thin and I don't like it much in retrospect, but i did it, so lets just look at the river.

He probably would expect me to play a flush draw that hit in exactly the same way, so I could certainly have a flush.

I really highly doubt that he is bluffing here, because I don't see many hands that he could be doing it with and my line gives no indication that I plan to fold.

But that said, I hold the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] so really the only flush hands that could be here on the river are 78hh, 89hh, J9hh, and 45hh, and I think he would only call with some of them sometimes preflop.

So, basically what it coes down to, is there aren't many flushes he could have based on previous action in the hand and that i have the Jh, but also I do not think he is bluffing and don't see worse hands doing this for value.
