    That all in is about a 1/2 pot bet? If he had flush draw he's not calling anything, if he has any other hand that got that far he's probably calling a 1/2 pot bet.

    I mainly play cash games, but my input fwiw :


    I think you could have squeezed more value out of the flop and the turn. On the flop I would bet around 450. A flush draw, straight draw or jack is probably still calling that size bet. The 200 bet was a gift to a flush draw.

    Assuming he calls, the pot by the turn would be ~1600. I would bet about 800 and again you would still get a flush draw to (incorrectly) call you.

    On the river I'd then push your remaining 400 chips, but as Wota says - if he's not calling your initial river bet he's not calling anything.

    thats a pretty nasty board for a set.. bet the flop harder.. at least 400.
    river bet is fine
