Almost no infos on villain, and I'm not sure I had all those 20 hands on him at that time, I did not clearly remember that hand, however I'll try my best to explain what I must have though. I don't like my line here but I am clueless about how I should have played it.
I think preflop play is standard, when I 3bet not to play OOP vs two opponents.
Flop is quite perfect for my hand. A nice top pair on a drawy-but-not-too-much board. I Cbet as usual, and get minraised not as usual :(.
Here, I basically though about two spades or a set/2pairs. He is unknown so it's not that easy to play. I chose to call since I have TPTK and I am given a good price to play against 2pairs imo.
The turn is a blank, maybe completing a few gutshots he may have reraised with (but I don't think he will have a gutshot often here). But this card is not a spade, and gives an OESD to a jack. I did not want to bet not no isolate myself against the strong part of his range, because I don't want to get reraised and fold my nice TPTK. I then decided to check/call to let him semibluff again (since there are now much more semibluffs).
The river is a great card for me, killing all the possible draws (except maybe 7s8s). I chose to check/call for the same reasons as on the turn, and because there are much more "busted" draws if we take the J into this category (which the average fish would).
What do you think? I am wondering about a bet on the turn to get more value out of draws, however I was quite unsure if a draw would call a 2nd barrel here, but any hand that have me beaten would...
