Hello,

Do you think I played this hand correctly and would you have played it differently? It was the early stages so I didn't have any reads on the opps.

I like it -- even the CBet on a monochrome board is OK -- but would you have folded if BB had check/raised?

I like the check back on the turn. If opponent already has the flush, it denies him the opportunity to extract more money from you -- assuming opponent would call.

A lot of Ax hands might play like this.
Risky call, but your hand is well disguised.

Cheers,
VS

Thanks. If opp check-raised the flop, I think I would have folded.

I would most likely Cbet a lot smaller like around half pot. The rest of the hand seems standard. Tough to fold a set on the river and villain could shove weaker hands as well.

Cbet bit too big imo. He's never folding big flushdraws nor made flushes so I'd make it cheap for myself. You could also check flop imo so you don't get bluffed off your equity. You'll see loads of ugly turns though, however a big spade gives us a decent flush aswel.

As played I like the turn checkback (I'd always lead here being villain I think) and I don't see myself folding river although you'll see lots of AKss / AQss.
