Obviously a dream flop..I was happy if no other spades fell but I felt I had the best hand and best draw. I didn't want to push everyone out on the flop but i wanted to pump it up a bit.

When the spade hit and I got bet into by the only semi-tight player in the pot, I was uneasy. The price was so good that I decided I couldn't fold so I called. When it was checked to me on the river I really wasn't sure what to do, and a checkraise would make me puke so I checked behind. Thoughts?

Wow, I'm not a fan of this at all. At least make a value bet. Checking behind here is -EV for sure.

gotta bet, there's no way a higher flush checks the river

hmm.. id def raise the turn - 1/3 bet?

i think we're good hear more time than not - im putting the rest in the middle on a non-/images/graemlins/spade.gif river if i just get called.

he's probably holding A/images/graemlins/spade.gifx

[Kyriefurro]

The 1/3 PSB on the turn + the check on the river makes me think that villain has A /images/graemlins/spade.gif and is trying to price himself into his draw...which everyone obligingly let him do.

I bet about 1/2 the pot on the river.

I like a turn raise. He might be trying to draw to an A /images/graemlins/spade.gif cheaply .
