Hi.

First session after over 2 months away from the tables due to too much work. There may have been some rustiness in my decisions!

Preflop - is it a call? A decent hand to play against a single raise, but it is a significant part of my stack. Any merit in shoving?
Flop - looks safe enough, no reason to donk?
Turn - went fairly big because Ax is a big part of his range, and it's not folding to a single bet. Maybe 1200 would've been better to end up with a stack better suited for a river shove?
River - think I should definitely bet to try to get value from an Ace. Thought I could represent missed spades with an overbet, do you think it's good or would you go for a smaller bet? Assume I shouldn't worry about hands which beat me (KQ, sets, better Jacks)?

Thanks!

easy call pre. you want to play for stacks. His flop check on a coordinated board is pretty weak. I bet 1/2 ps turn and river.

Pre-flop call out of position is close. Especially against a unknown for 22bb effective.
The rest seems standard. Only the bet sizing could be smaller like half pot bets.
I doubt you get to much action except KQ and a ace if you bet more.

Cheers,
