2 Spades and a raise, I would push about 1 1/2 the pot to scare them out. You ended up losing right?

It seems apparent to me that with 3 callers to my raise on that board that if the flush gets there, somebody is going to have it 99% of the time. Which raises the question, of course, of why I called on the river. Good question.

I would probably make huge raise at this point. Raise it up to 500. Don't give those flush draws even close to the proper odds to call. With a bet, a call and somebody left to act, I may even consider pushing right here. This may seem a bit extreme but I tend to think you'll get called enough here at the 20s with lesser hands to make this a good play.
