Mainly I'm curious about betting right out on this flop: correct? I figured since the only aggressor was in the BB and not in LP I couldn't force the field to call 2 cold if I C/Red. I'm unsure if this is correct thinking.

I checked the river hoping to to save a bet if a flush was out. Should I be value betting here?

Thanks.
