Ok I have two questions.
what would you do here on river if you decided to check and uknown villain shoved?
Now how about 43/10/1.5 and who has a 20% fold to c-bet, how would you play and if check do you call a shove?

I think a blocking bet of about $55 is best here. I think you can still fold to his push

Thats probably best agaisnt an unknown....although a good player will see that blocking bet as weakness and might push without the flush.

Push, it's not close.

shove or check/fold any other line sucks check/calling lets u get owned so hard

I shove this, think he has a lower set more often than the flush, and if he's that loose he will call.

Anyway would be nice to know how much money he had, though to be honest I shove here no matter what. More money in the pot then you have, so the way I figure it if he has the set you triple your current stack, if he has 2-pair he probably folds (small chance of call) in which case you double your stack, if he has the flush you're out of luck, but at least you made the right play.

If he does that the pot will be around 260$ with hero having 80$ left, are you really folding the top set with better than 4:1 pot odds ?
