You've possibly left some money on the table, as a hand like TT-99/8x won't be folding to a 1/3~ PSB. That said, it's definitely not a major mistake to just check back and win at showdown.

All the above is true, plus SB has 77BBs and is therefore less likely to be an aggressive squeezing reg which hurts our fold equity.

02:30 what sort of range are you defending in the BB vs a small UTG raise? A3o seems on the loose side but I've not watched your video on Constructing BB Defend Ranges yet.

Without reads I tend to get it in with my sets on monochrome flops. In this case, villain could easily have AcX or even an overpair with the club like QcQx; even if he has the made flush you still have decent equity.

I don't know that you need to cbet here. As played I think you can definitely check either turn or river (to call, obv). He's rarely going to call down all three streets with less than TPTK.

I understand my range is thin to the point of being nonexistent in terms of value, and I think had I bet 2/3 pot or whatever I would have been snapped off by the hands you describe which is basically why I chose to make the non-standard bet.

I'm also not sure I have all that much showdown value...
