Hi!
I think the play pre-flop and flop are both alright, but I think I somehow trapped myself on the turn. I wanted to bet there for protection against flush draws, but instead (I think) trapped myself in the pot.
Looking back on the river, I believe that should be a clear fold even given the pot odds as he is almost never showing up with a bluff (probably only KT/KJ with one spade) and probably not even value betting worse hands (like AJ/AT).
What do you think is the best strategy on the turn? Check fold to pot+ size bets?
Thanks!
