Hero has barreled flop and turn, only +2 and SB have called. River is the action card. Fills us up while completing the flush.
And now, SB leads for $65 into $160. He's a solid player. Haven't seen him get out of line. He obviously just made his draw. FWIW, he started with about $600 behind.
I can only assume this is a b/f from a flush. I played the hand strong and clearly wasn't afraid of the Ace turn despite the fact that it could have paired someone if they had the NFD. It should have been clear I had a set, and a flush should now be wary of the paired board.
So how do we maximize here? We have about $220 behind. My concern about shoving is that it might fold everyone out. +2 will be hard-pressed to cold-call a shove, and SB should finally get the message that I have a boat.
Sucks to just call, but it might pick up a crying call from +2 since he'll be closing the action. No idea what he has since it's hard to imagine there are two flushes out there.
Best play?
