Me as well; funny reference, by the way.

Seems to me in hindsight that a flop bet is mandatory. If Alabsi's range is pairs larger than 7, AK-AJ and KQs, I'm a favorite to his hand. And the turn bet to three spades where my opponent's range is highly likely to include the chop card is downright idiotic. Of course, there's some shot that he can put me on a made flush and muck the hand, so there probably some tiny FE to my bet.

And the alternatives aren't so good either; with 12K dead in the pot, check-folding isn't a very attractive line. My $6K bet could also act as a block bet; if I check-call, he may stack me.

What line do you like? Assume the PF action.
