3 folds, MP1 raises to $1.75, 3 folds, SB calls $1.50, Hero calls $1.25

Why bet the flop then check through the turn when you have position?

River: ($17.25) 7d (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $8, MP1 folds, SB calls $8
Not the best card in the world, but I'm still value betting my rivered flush.

Final Pot: $33.25
SB mucks Qs Ad
Hero shows 9d Jd (a flush, King high)
Hero wins $31.60
(Rake: $1.65)
I think $8 was a perfect bet size; he doesn't have top pair and there's a lot out there that beats him.
