how was my line...

Uh, your line was fairly puzzling. I'd have shut it down after the check-raise on the flop. If I decided to call that raise, I'd check behind on the turn for sure. What hands is he possibly check raising with on the flop that would be scared of a 7s on the turn? He check raised you on a flush draw board and then checked the turn when the third spade showed up. Would someone who was really worried about the flush draw have done that? Maybe, but your action up to this point doesn't exactly look like you're drawing to a flush. You flatcalled the PF raise, which you probably aren't doing with any suited connectors, so that rules out a lot of flush draws off the bat. You raised when offered a free card on a flush draw board, which could mean you're drawing to the nut flush, but if you actually made the nut flush, would you really go all-in on the turn when you made the flush and the other player was currently the aggressor? No, you'd check behind and hope he made a move on the river so he could hang himself, or value bet. Your all-in doesn't look him someone who has a made flush.

So after the check-raise on the flop, you're almost certainly behind. The spade coming out on the turn just cements that even further, but it gives you some more potential outs. If he was drawing to any sort of strong flush, he just made it. And if not, is there any way that he check raises without a jack or QQ/KK/AA/flopped set?

So I'd have shut it down after the check-raise. If I decided to call that, then I'd definitely have checked behind on the turn to see if I could catch a ten or spade on the river, which would be the only card that I would possibly make another bet with in this hand, as I definitely think there's a lot of non-flush hands he could have bet this way with that a set of tens or a weak flush could beat.

I'm gonna guess he had AJ with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], two broadway spades, or a flopped set of 8's? And if he's a loose player, you could even reasonably give him some T9 hands which give him a straight. The only hand I can reasonably put him on that you could beat would be 99.

I'm likely not calling that CR out of position.
