Villain had been giving me absolutely no credit for a hand so far, which is why I bet a little more on the turn. When he min check/raised me I though he probably had nothing or maybe an ace. Based on that I kinda think I should have checked, because there weren't many bad cards that could have hit on the river and it may have induced a river bluff.

What do you guys think?

nh, I think u played this good, slowplaying can get u into alot of trouble, and minimises the pot if they don't try to bluff it, if a 3rd spade came up or card that put a possible straight on the board then you might start to worry, so its best to get all ur chips in while you're ahead

Hi gggeorgio,

Because we are in position here, I prefer to just call, with the intention of getting it in on the river. To be honest, I don't think a spade kills your action at all (nor do I think he's holding a flushdraw very often)... so "slowplaying" so to speak here, when opponent has shown strength, is best IMO.
