Party 50nl (6 handed) - Do I call w/tpwk on river getting 5 to 1?
 

This is my first orbit at the table, so I have no reads. I bet about half the pot on the turn after the third spade fell, to find out where I was at. With the board pairing a 7 on the river, I couldn't think of a hand the villain had that I could beat. There's $20.25 in the pot on the river, so I'm getting 5 to 1 on my call. Is there any way I'm ahead of the villain more than 20% of the time here?

interesting hand, did you already plan on calling a bet when you checked? id think about betting out $4 next time and folding to a raise. your check may have induced a bluff. i think the way you played it, you call.
