Stupid Raise or Did I Save a Bet?

[dabluebery]

Right. I had no spades.

Yeah, I could have seen a showdown for the same price, and I'm stupid for that. But in realizing that, I realized could have saved a bet by check-calling, too.

Don't look at it from a results-perspective. I like that you keep betting on the turn here, but when you get raised on this board, it's pretty much a call-down barring a read that tells you to fold or raise.

When you are ahead, what does the turn 3-bet gain you?
