I like check calling alot more than check raising, but I like leading best of all.

Can you give me some reasoning behind your lines? I just dont see why youd want to lead or check-call.

If you lead, and he raises, then what? Your back to where you are at this hand. If you check-call, what happens when he bets the turn for a larger amount?

i think you should have check-raised a little bit more. this would give you a better idea where you are in the hand. maybe 95-100 total.

I would go all-in. I think he has KQ or KJ.

He raises UTG and gives you so much action on this board? KQ or KJ doesn't seem very likely to me here, sir. It is possible that he has AK here as well or better. Without any reads on him, I would be leaning more towards a fold as you're probably either behind or will be splitting the pot here.

the fact that you hold the ace of spades and the kind of spades is out there make it very unlikely your against a flush draw, so you are either against two aces, ace king, kings or some wacky set, given the stack sizes I would fold

You push even though you're either tied or behind?
