Nut flush vs. Set/Straight! Where´s the way to valuetown?
 

My image is taggy. Villian is 30/7/2 over a decent sample sice. The main question is how to extract the most value.

I really like a minraise here ([censored] you all), it'll give him the illusion that he has fold equity and it'll also make him unable to fold any hand that he check/raises except air.

Shove now please.

If he has a set he has 10 outs which gives him odds of 3.4:1.
If you call his bet, there is already 255$ in the pot. Not considering implied odds you have to at least raise $100 to deny him the immediate odds to draw to a full-house. As you have only $193 so you are pot-committed anyway if you raise only $100 and it also looks more threatening you should shove here.
Sometimes you will make him fold a straight or a smaller flush but not all players have the discipline to lay down those hands. Other times he check-raised with a weak holding and you take away his ability to bluff at it again.
Despite that I would play it straighforward here and not try to get cute.

UTG's bet size on the flop seems like he wants to b3b so I'm raising the flop so a dumb card doesn't come on the turn that kills action. as played, if you just call, I think there's a really high likelihood you get it all in on a non spade river but a spade could kill your action so I would lean towards getting it in on the turn.
