My thought process:
Preflop > A loose decision? How bad a leak is this (if it is a leak)?
Flop > I'm excited to (mis?)use this blocker stuff I've been learning about. Also got a K-spade flush draw blocker. I figure a classic small blind check raise will represent the straight pretty good.
A small amount of sad face when BTN calls my raise. His two flop calls strongly suggest flush draw, though a higher straight draw is possible too.
Turn > A brick. Time to keep representing a straight and make this flush draw fold with a big bet.
River > Wah wah. Flush comes, I'm check folding. Don't see any room for further bluffing.
This is probably the most aggressive I've played a hand purely on blockers. Was this a spew, or played well? It was very multiway, so perhaps that leans against trying a bluff.
