Look at those action cards...I'd for sure bet that waiting for a re-raise.

Wrong location for this but whatever. with 2 suited cards out there you dont want to let this get checked around, id say about 2/3 of the pot, in a good cash game people with an K or Q are going to call and see what you do next.

I do not like check-raising here, i think its the easyest way to give awayu your hand, your only gonna get action from a nut flushing hand

this is a pretty clear spot to bet the pot. with a K and Q and 2 spades you want to build this pot as much as you can right now.

This isn't really a ring game, is it? All the stacks are around 1500 and the average stack is exactly 1500. This looks like the 2nd hand of a donkament.

Anyway, bet 3/4 pot or so on the flop. Don't give the draws free cards.

Bet more on the flop like 120 looks good. Lead turn about 160-190 and see what happens.

This is what I would do too, except I make it 175. I think making it some odd number like 160 or 190 makes it look like you're thinking about it too much. I like to go with round numbers. Like 125,150,175,200, etc.
