How many hands has V seen a flop with in the first orbit?
A of spades is not the worst card because it cuts down on some of his flush combos by eliminating suited aces for him and can give him 2-pair. He has at most 15 realistic flush combos, but probably fewer unless he's playing any 2 suited cards. He has 3 more combos of 97s. He has 3 combos each of 66, 88 and AT. 3 combos of 75s and J9s that aren't flushes. 3 combos of A6s and 2 each of 86s, A8s and T8s. He also has a bunch of T9, 98, 87 and 76 and Tx with a spade.
I bet $70, call a shove given the amount of worse sets and two pair in his range, and shove most Rivers.
The plan on this turn was x/c. This may have been a bad plan, as I am fairly inexperienced.
When he bet, I thought and got calling chips ready. While doing this, he grabbed for chips. I read that as him being weak.
Preflop is either/or for me. If Villain is gambooley then I'm assuming he can also be tricky preflop, so being OOP to him in a bloated pot ain't always going to be great considering TT hates so many flops. I don't think it would be a crime to check preflop, but raising is fine too.
SPR is 7 on the flop, so we can get in stacks by just betting big/big and getting rest in on the river. Board is pretty drawy, I would PSB the flop. You know what calls $30 on this flop but not $40 (especially when dealing with a gambloorer)? Absolutely nothing, so no reason to bet any less, imo.
I would check the turn. The main draw got there and if he has it obviously we don't want to bet into him. The A is also a scare card for his very mediocre hands (like just one pair) and we don't want to bet those out of the pot. We also show weakness and perhaps get him to bet his weak hands or payoff a river bet if it checks thru. I would check/call the turn and the evaluate / soul read the river.
ETA: Not sure why some feel checking is so bad. Reasons?
