Final Pot: T4390

Results below:
Small blind has Kh Qc (a pair of Kings)
UTG has As 6s (a flush, Ace high)
Outcome: UTG wins T4390


Ok, after reviewing this hand I found that even though I made the final raise and got my chips in as a favourite (55/45) UTG had to call ~1600 to win ~2800 (7/4), so a good call on his part.

Of course, knowing his hole cards makes it easy, but I'm just wondering if it is plausible to call his min raise in this type of situation. If the turn seems to be a blank, then pushing the remaining 1600. He would then have to call with odds of 3-1 of making his hand, only getting 7/4 on his money.

So, in general, is it sometimes worth seeing the turn and then making the big move if it appears to be 'safe'?

Any thoughts?
