$3.30 Bounty Builder

The classic K-high flush. Should we fold, go to showdown as sheap as possible, or going for winning a huge pot?

SB is 27/7 over 15 hands.

As he calls from small blind I dont know much about his hand. And I think there is alot of hands SBs would bet with on both flop and turn, as played here.
So the big descision comes on turn.
I think calling is a bad option because we will have a hard time folding on river if the board doesnt pair, and if it pairs, we will be afraid that he got his full house (almost for free)...
What would you have done?

Don't think about trying to pot control once you make your flush - if you were beaten it's a cooler - there are many more hands that will pay off your shove than have you beaten.

nh. Could consider calling the turn to keep both players in but realistically it will be hard to stack both so getting it in on the turn seems best.

I know that the reason of the shove was mainly to protect his hand against a full house, but assuming we have the best hand (unfortunately not in this case,) and if we want to extract the most money from our opponents, would it not be better to raise a 2x/3x his bet on the turn, so we don't scare them with a big bet?

I see your point.
But as said: "I think calling is a bad option because we will have a hard time folding on river if the board doesnt pair, and if it pairs, we will be afraid that he got his full house (almost for free)..."

Is it better to be the aggressor and force the other players to make a difficult descision? (there is only very few hands that is better than mine on the turn.)
Than seeing the river, and have to make the difficult descision myself?
