I decided not to c-bet OTF because Villain (especially the one on the BTN) hadn't been folding to c-bets. Also I don't feel like that board would hit my range, and I have very low equity OTF with just overs and an optimistic backdoor to the second nut-straight. I wanted to be more conservative in a multiway pot with station-y players.
In hindsight, I think the delayed cbet on the turn hurt me as it made my hand pretty face-up. At the time I thought that now that my hand has some equity, I need to protect from the spade and the club flush draws. When villain re-raises me here I thought that I should continue and re-evaluate on the river. I found the re-raise strange because if they were reraising me for value, why wouldn't they take over the betting lead on the flop after I checked? Would it make sense for villain to slowplay a set in a multiway pot since there's the risk of giving the club draw a free card? Villain's also been playing pretty rocky all session, but at the same time the reraise made more sense as a semibluff for a flush draw since they didn't bet the flop. I'm also getting a decent price to continue (almost 2.5:1).
My plan was to call a reasonable bet on the river if neither flush draws completed, assuming the bet from villain was sensibly sized. Well sadly for me villain overbets to almost double the pot. I decide to fold because I'm getting a bad price, and the fact that villain's been playing really tight, so I felt he wouldn't be bluff-shoving in this spot. Villain was also playing pretty passively as well (AF of 1.2) for the entirety of the session so I figured that when a passive player like that shows strength I should just let it go, even if nothing changed on the river. I felt calling an overbet with just a King is too light against this villain, despite me getting decent odds to bluff-catch. The bet smelled like either a missed flush-draw or a set, and a missed flush-draw made a bit more sense since they didn't bet the flop. I think I ended up just folding due to pressuring myself to maintain my solid profit for the night (poor mentality I know, but was a little annoyed at my losses in 10NL Blitz).
