The math
GTO answer: Raise to 24bb
Nut flush in a multi-way limped pot, HJ bets the flush-completing turn after the flop checked through. HJ's delayed turn bet on this card is heavy on made flushes (he had a smaller suited hand or a Kx with a spade) and strong made hands going for value. Just calling is leaving money on the table because the river can pair the board and kill action. Raise to around 24bb (3x his bet), build the pot, get value from smaller flushes and Kx that calls one more, set up a river shove. UTG behind is a small concern but he checked the flop and the turn, his range is capped.
