UTG showed 8 5 and won $4.81 ($2.31 net)

Flop: flopped top set so I intended to check call.

Were these moves fine? Your opinion please. Thanks.

Edit for more advises. Tks.

Tks w34z3l for your advice. I'm still confusing whether it is a better decision for this hand.
Pre flop: call
Flop: C-bet pot (0.22 euro), and villain will raise to 0.7 euro for example. What would we do? All in or call.
Turn: shove in my opinion
I have a feeling that we're gonna shove this hand anyway as the flop is too nice. Villain will not give up his hand and neither do I.
Your opinion please.

Hey apollo5401,

I prefer flat call pf here vs UTG min-raise.

I would cbet flop for value here, I don't see any great reasons to slowplay on this texture.

Turn play is fine.

3bet/fold vs. utg raise? As mentioned, a flat would be better.

As played, on that connected board we dont wanna slow play. There are so many turn cards killing the action. If u x/c OTF i like the check OTT. But a minraise makes ur hand obvious. In general we should have the nuts OTT. After raising pre, there shouldnt be any straight combos there. Check push is what i would have chosen there.
