It's really early, but villain has already shown to be weak and passive. Anything wrong with this line?

I might pot the flop against 2 but as played everything is good.

Let me guess, UTG limp-called with small pocket pair and hit a set?

ger, you might pot it?
dima, results are irrelevent

PF is fine
Bet a lot more on the flop, 225+++
Shove or near 500 on turn.
Rest on river.

Actually, the opposite. Villain folded, and I was wondering if I should have bet less on river to get a call from his possible Kx. Or check to him and let him bluff a busted flush draw.

Oh, OK. I would've bet more pre-flop, something close to pot sized bet, since you have two callers and a possible flush draw. Other than that I think you played it well. With a larger flop bet, your river bet would also be harder to fold to, but even as played, there is nothing wrong with going all-in, IMO.

No, if you bet more on the turn then you will have a good sized bet on the river. The board is too good for other hands to call with. You can't just put him on a busted draw on that board. Value shove all day.
