It looks good to me.

The FD is certainly part of UTG's range on the flop so I like the check on the turn and the value bet on the river.

standard....he never checks flush on river so we certainly have the best hand.

that doesnt necessarily mean its a big enough a part of his range that checking&gt;betting the turn. I'd bet the turn a lot here because a ton of flop calling ranges call another turn bet and rarely bluff when you lead a flush card again if they dont have it to these bet sizes, not to mention when you are up against a flush you still have a good amount of equity in this pot to fill up.

If its against a player where you think either a) the flush is a reasonable part of his range (i dont think its a huge part here, it is in his range though) or b) youre only going to get one street of value from him based on his entire range, then checking becomes a lot easier and more clear on the turn.

Re: $16 - Set, too scared?
 

With the pot = your stack on the turn, I like to just get it in here, except I wouldn't shove the turn, I'd bet like 750 since this is a $16 sng, in order not to scare him away w/ weaker hands.

If the river blanks out, and he shoves, you're not going anywhere, so I feel like you will be getting stacked by a flush, so you may aswell get $ in on the turn since he may have a pair and a FD, Straight draw+flush draw on turn, as well as other weaker made hands that he's gonna go with on the turn.

Oh, and as played bet more on the river, 750-800, or a shove against the right opponent.

I think we always have to bet the turn here in case villain has a random spade, letting him hit via a free card sucks. The pot is big enough that I'd just stick it in there

Re: $16 - Set, too scared?
 

Would anyone just check it down because of the all-in? Or is that not an issue?

Re: $16 - Set, too scared?
 

thats not an issue, i think i just push turn, if he has a flush were probably going broke anyways...

Re: $16 - Set, too scared?
 

I think you always have to bet the turn here as well, the pot is too big and if he just has a naked spade and then a fourth rolls off, that is not the kind of scenario that makes you happy. As stated, you have outs if he is already there.

Re: checking it down - that is only an issue when dictated by the pay structure (on the bubble, 3 handed)

Re: $16 - Set, too scared?
 

I bet turn, probably call shove.
