($27) QJs in the BB early
 

This hand is probably a lot less interesting than I think it is at the moment. Previously I played an AK that hit TPTK pretty passively, though no read on Villian yet.

I think the river is the hardest decision, but i probably check behind like you did. He will call with a weak ace here, and that holding is not impssible given the action. Question is if he calls you with a weak queen. But i think a check is better to not risk losing more chips.

Well some of the time he has the flush and figures I won't pay him off after the action so far. Some of the time he has missed spades and I shouldn't bet. Some of the time he has a weak ace, bet the turn for value and doesn't want to play a big pot (kinda like my hand). Some of the time he has a weaker queen and will pay off a bet. I don't think a pair below Q bets the turn. So I feel like I should check this more than bet it.
