dont fear the free card.
i actually check raise here alot in a deep stack game. when you check, although it looks fishy, the fact that there are 2 spades on board makes your thinking oppnents reason you really did miss and your unthinking opponents, well theyll do what they were gonna do anyway. generally, this means players are gonna bet all there made hands and draws right back into you and check behind when they really did miss everything. now you can checkraise. and players really have to put a set of aces high on your range of hands. you will fold out 2-pair alot here. you can robo muck to any re-raise and callers are generally drawing to beat a set.
if it gets checked behind. go for the cr again on the turn, your bet out will get raised light too often.
not fearing the free card is one of the huge things a winning player has to learn in big bet. bobby hoff is a master at this and is very hard to put on a hand because of it.
