Default Re: 600/1200 river

I have not played with NW so I do not have a read on him. If he is the type to particularly like river check rasies (not just does them when appropriate, read: occasionally) then perhaps a check is good.

Without such a read, I really think this is a bet. I think a worse hand is most likely here and the turn three bet was to maybe get you to fold an ace you were FSD'ing. Then when the spade gets there he really has to worry you got there with a pair and spade draw so he is check calling (since you are tricky and he doesnt feel comfortable bet folding river).

By no means do I think this is not close. His two pair hands are questionable matches with his preflop play (3 bet KQ or A5s right? and I do not know if he is they type to come in with K5s, Q5s type stuff). So, if I had played with him a little I think the read could easily change this to a check. But, generally speaking, I think a bet is best.
