I may be getting some books mixed up, but I thought it was SSHE. Perhaps I read on NPAs web site. But the concept is there. And it would have likely won me this pot. I know its being results oriented, but because I hadn't been in the situation much if at all, I wasn't ready and hadn't thought about using this line.

The error on the play was not raising the river.

UTG showed just enough fear of the flush that it was in the back of her mind. When UTG1 comes firing, I should have INSTANTLY known, (don't remember if I did or not) that he did not have the flush. His play did not represent the flush. There was definitely no fear from UTG that she had the flush. There was a chance that she would call the river donk.

The proper play was to raise the river. UTG would now be more likely to fold for 2 cold I am assuming. My play would have been consitent with the flush holding and the play would be a +EV. I may not have won the pot on this hand specifically, but given the players and the board texture and the preflop action, a raise would win this pot enough times to make the raise profitable.

The raise should get her to fold what is likely the winning hand, and I get to either scoop the pot when UTG1 folds, or when my hand holds up heads up against him.

One thing I forgot to metion in the OP, is that his W$SD% was ~40%. That definitely bears on the decision. I don't remember what hers was.
