I checked a King flush on the river

Ok. I don't know much about CO and SB. But BB is really bad. Really loose, and pretty passive unless he has a hand.

Basically the two turn cold calls screams Ace of Spades to me (especially since I have the King and Queen). Frankly I expected to get check-raised on the river. But that could also be because I had been taking a thumpin' and getting c/r'd a lot when drawn out on.

Is the river check good, bad or ugly?

Bet and call a raise. So many hands will call you down here possibly even overcallers. Not betting this river is leaving a lot of value on the table.

When they check to you, you are a big favorite. Your opponents would have to check-raise close to 100% of the time with the Ace spades to make betting for value unprofitable. I would bet and call a raise.

I am guessing you are being results oriented, bet.

Horrible river check. It is unnatural to check-raise the A-high spade flush on the river. You are missing a ton of value here.
