Bottom two in a raised pot. 5-10 NL
 

Ok. Basically, I hate the way I played this, but I cant really figure out any other way to do it. 5-10 NL, two limpers to me and I make it 50 to go with 56 spades. One caller behind me and the two limpers call. 215 in the pot.

Flop: 569, two spades

The limpers check to me and I bet 200, LP calls, limpers fold. Pot = 600

Turn is an offsuit T

He has 850 left, I have him covered. Whats the best line from here? I was too afraid of giving a free card, and bet 600. He called. I put him all in on a blank river. I dont really like the turn bet, but checking is more or less equatable to giving up, as any hand I am ahead of will most likely ram a pot sized bet down my throat. Comments?

Stack sizes? Also how can you have 65s and flop 2 spades on a 569 flop, I imagine you had clubs maybe? Why not bet 1/3-1/2 the pot on the turn? Are you willing to go all in with this hand? It gets interesting when you bet say 200ish and he raises you to 500... If he is someone that could just take it away from you on the turn with nothing, why not check-raise him all in? What's your image like?

How do you have the 5s6s and the board is 956 with 2 spades? Did you mean 1 spade? Or is it 2 of some other suit?

Sorry. The suit on the board was clubs, not spades. I didnt have a flush draw.
