I think the amount to bet here is pretty flexible. 1/4 pot, 1/2 pot, full pot will likely get villain to fold if he doesn't have a boat. An equally good alternative is checking here, then betting the river if checked to, or raising any weak bet by villain. You've got position, so use it.

Joe, I think betting less is generally not a good idea.
So you bet 1/2 the pot, villain smells weakness and comes over the top all-in with top two. Wouldn't that suck?
OR, he calls, you make your straight, and he bets 1/2 the pot or all-in. Wouldn't that suck also?
If you are going to bet less than the pot you need to have established a history with the villain as one who makes smaller value bets with the nuts. Otherwise I think you are spewing and you may as well give up the pot now.
