UTG+2 wins 14BB pot with a flopped set of 6's. I guess this is one of the cases where I don't lose as much money as I should thanks to UTG+2's very passive play.

At first I wondered if I had played this hand wrong, cuz I know at a passive table a 2 pair or set will simply call down a 3 card flush board; but I don't really think I had any other option than to bet as letting a free card come would be horrible. I think I like the reasons for raising the flop, especially folding out low single spades (which I think most table regulars would do) and making high single spades pay.
