Default Re: Hit a set on turn, but puts 3 flush on board

This hand just screams one of those situations where I am WA/WB. And I am wondering what is the best way to win the most/lose the least (is that still correct thinking in SNGs?). For this hand, I checked the turn, intending to check/call the river unless I improved of course, and bet the river if checked to.

I don't know if that line is optimal, but I don't see how I need to go for broke here, on the turn when I only have 1/8 of my stack in the middle.

For instance, let's assume villain called my flop raise with two overcards. He certainly isn't calling any bets on the turn without the flush (with some exception for the ace of flush). So, I'm not getting much value out of betting the turn I think. But on the river, if the board doesn't pair, I get much more out of a value call if checked to.

Once again, I'm just trying to verify how my thought process is. I'm not overly optimistic that my set bet is called on the turn by a hand that I beat.
