Check raise is good. Button is likely to bet with almost anything. The only argument I can think of againt raising is that the pot is small. But as the chances are so good that your hand is good, but vulnerable, the check raise should work well in the long run.

The fact that button is nearly all in is also a factor to consider, because you do not fear a reraise. All the better to check raise yourself.

Looks good to me. I'd play it the same. I dont like the 2 people calling two cold, but it's hard to turn back from here. I might even check/fold the turn but that sounds too weak.

You really can't check-fold the turn when you just picked up a spade draw.

Yah I guess. I actually thought that there were 3 players in + the hero and not just two. (meaning 2 people that coldcalled on the flop as well as the original bettor) Seems like someone is gonna have a bigger spade to me if there is 3 people in, with 2 people calling 2 bets at once.

I guess I'd play it the same because none of the other options are good, but the best option here still doesnt even seem that good. Hope that makes sense.

What were the results?

Hi Festus,

Trix and I disagree for once. This hand isn't probably fine. It is absolutely great.
