I raised the flop cause i figured his weak donk bet meant he was drawing. As he checked the turn is was pretty sure i was right and wanted to take down the pot.
Didnt expect to get minraised, does baluga apply here?

Thanks

Raise to 1.25 pf, raise $5 or so on flop. $10 on turn. His minraise is so strange here. If he had a set on the flop he would definitely 3bet you due to the monotone board, right? It really looks like he has the made flush or just the A/images/graemlins/spade.gif but I'd still probably fold in the heat of the moment. I'm curious as to what others think though.

The only set that would make sense are now quads.
I dont think he would limp call KK maybe JJ but thats also very unlikely.
And I agree that a set would have given more action on flop.
I really couldnt put him on a hand so I folded because of baluga.

Anyone else?

Why couldn't he have flopped a flush? Hes not betting the 6 for value, hes either got a big hand/big draw or he flopped it. By flat calling his lead out it makes it look like you flopped the flush if he didn't. You may have the best hand or you can then go for a steal on the turn depending on how the hand develops.

You let him take control of the pot when you raised his lead out on that dangerous board, without at least holding one spade. Your raise signaled weakness on that board (as in no spade) which allowed him to pull a good semi bluff with a big spade...
