Why are you not betting the turn? Checking turn and calling the riverbet when the spade completes the flushdraw, and the turn has already completed a straightdraw is horrible.. The second villain checks the turn, we know he is on a draw. Make him pay for it. Paying him off on the river after giving him a free card is not something you should do.

agreed- bet turn, fold river

Raise pf, bet flop, bet turn, call/bet river.

call/bet river.

You are obviously fond of paying off draws when completed.

[oh well...]

River call is bad. Gotta bet that turn and if he calls or raises shut down.

Granted, I should have put a 3.75 bet in on the turn.

But as played, you don't think river bet is a complete bluff enough to call? How can the call be horrible when it only needs to be good 22% to break even? Isn't he looking at that board and saying, 'he's got nothing, the board is scary, I'll take it.' more than that?
