Could you find another line than bet/fold on this river? If not (I didn't), how big would your bet be? I feel that when we bet small, villain will bluff us off too much. By betting bigger, we'll commit ourselves and cannot fold to a shove.

people dont like turning sdv into bluffs, and you can still fold if their range looks like 100% flushes (which it probably is)

I think that you can check/call at this spot if you are afraid so much about the flush, it will cost you the same amount and you might take some value from a worst hand... also if you check BTN bets and UTG raises you can easily fold and lose nothing more than the pot.
This line is not the best line to follow if your opponet are playing straightforward and predictible. But again I have seen many crazy bluffs and thin value bets at 2NL after a check on the river.

Bet/Fold >>> Check/Call imo. For every crazy river bluff at micros there will be 10 nitty river checks. I don't remember seeing many thin value bets at nl2.

Totally agree on that one. What betsizing would you be using?

I agree with that too but I gave you an alternative line that you could use sometimes against better players or maniacs.
A good bet size would be anything between 50-65% of the pot.
