don't check the nuts on the turn?

First of all, is checking the flop a bad idea?

Once I have the straight flush, how do I get the most value out of this hand? Do I need to bet more on the river?

Yes. But I dump this turkey pre-flop, although if the table was this good it can't be that big of a mistake.

move all in?

Would be a nice river bet, but I like betting more than 1 street when I flop the nuts with lots of money behind...

fold preflop bet flop bet turn bet river

might be a good turn to c/r depending on opponent.

Anything to get the pot above 7E. Anything.
