No draws really got there unless he was messing around with a gutshot check-raise on flop (unlikely).

umm.. spade draw hit on turn? holla

Can we discount spade draws a lot? If it's a spade draw it's a big draw, so why min-raise the flop? And now on the turn he made his hand but he's worried about the ace or king of spades redrawing, so he underbets?

(Sorry if these questions are dumb. I'm a limidonk but I find myself with an entry to the Stars Million tomorrow that I don't quite know what to do with.)

To those asking about the flop check, one would think it prevents us from playing a big pot and letting him threaten to stack or bluff us. I dunno if that makes it right, though. You might be able to accomplish the same thing by checking through the turn. (?) On the plus side, he seems to be drawing either huge or near-dead, so I'm not sure if the flop bet really accomplishes much against draws. On the turn, if there is a blank or not your equity will be more clear.
