Anyway to get more out of this?

[TRB1965]

3 handed at the end of a SNG, but blinds are still very low. The HERO has about 40 BB and the villian has about 120 BB.

HERO is in the Big blind (blinds 30/60). The villians limps in (calls the BB). The SB flods. HERO checks JsTs.

The flop is Ks9sQs (for a flopped straight flush).
HERO checks. Villian checks.

The turn is a blank (6d).
HERO checks. Villian checks

The river is As (for a rivered Royal).
HERO bets pot. Villian folds.

I don't really think there was anyway I was going to get the Villian to commit anything to this pot.

Any thoughts?

Bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river. Checking is exactly what someone with a made flush will do.

Bet the flop if he has a K or Q he might call, once the fourth spade hits there is no way he is going to put another chip in the pot unless he had a decent spade in his hand.

What Steve said!! Early bets are so often seen as bluff attempts that you NEED to bet this on the flop UNLESS you have a very specific read that Villian makes spewy bets on the river.

I think that answers your thread

bet half the pot on the flop. you may not have gotten any more out of the hand, but you wouldn't have had to invest 2 more streets to find that out.
