Interesting hand. Perhaps you should just give it up on fifth, but I'll guess that you have the best hand. Presumably, the Jack didn't hit him. He can't have started with three spades and then made a pair with the J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I would guess that he picked up a flush draw and decided to bet it. This doesn't make me wildly excited about your hand, but I don't think that the call was unreasonable.

On the river, either he's made something or he's bluffing. Problem is, there are a lot of bluffing hands that you can't beat. You might try a bluff raise. The more I think about it, the less I think it matters what you do, really. One advantage to calling is that you get to see his hand. He played it very strangely, and I think that that information, combined with the fact that you could conceivably win, just might be enough to swing this to a call.
