Villain is unknown. I potcbet flop to charge draws and i get called, i put villain on {KJ, KQ, AT+, TJ, T9, JJ, TT and alot of flushdraws} I decided to check call turn because of the flush, keeping pot small and hoping for a boat and maybe check calling a small bet on R. I hit my boat and decide to check raise, because of villains strong range (i think he will bet alot with his 2pair+ hands and maybe even with AK. Is my bet sizing ok, or should i raise all in?

I like the plan for the hand and the way you played it. Not sure if villain is calling river shove due to the SPR, with flush.

Ok thanks, i definitely agree on him probably not calling to the shove.

Seemed that this villain called lighter than a flush so i will make a note on him and try to shove next time because this villain will probably call a shove with flush and better

You want to shove always. Yes, there will be less calls but this is the most EV play.
Making a note on villain is obligatory.

I think vs an unknown shove is not certainly the most +EV. A check raise AI on paired R after potbetting wet F and c/calling flushed T looks way too suspicious for villain to call (even most bad players will cut their losses here and fold). In my opinion he will almost only call with JJ, which will not happen often enough to be more +Ev than cr NAI. Only fish wil call lighter here vs such a big check raise. There can always be a 3b AI from villain w nutflush or weaker boat.

If villain is calling, he will call any size.

Could we bet/call the turn here? I think he might still have some top pairs, two pairs and gutshots which will call. If he raises, he might have a bluff in some cases and even if he has a flush, we can hit on the river. If we bet/call the turn, my plan for the river would be to check/fold without FH and bet if we hit.
