What's he limping UTG then flatcalling that flop with? You have to bet, and dump to any raises. What to do if he calls and the river blanks is another story. I'm thinking check/call. I expect a turn bet to take this down a good portion of the time.

On river, I'd either c/c or put out a blocking bet &amp; fold to a significant raise. I lean towards a blocking bet, as checking to a 4th spade when you have the 2nd nut flush might just induce a bluff &amp; force you into a hard decision.

Thoughts?

This is one that's tough for me. In limit, this is an easy bet. But I'm not experienced enough in NL to know how often we might bet bluffed off the pot when we check versus how often we get bluffed off the pot when we bet. There's also more value in a limit bet.

its not a matter of being bluffed out its if we check how much can we call here if he does bet behind me to either maxmize EV or keep -EV minimal over the long run. or if we bet how often when he raises are we beat and how much of a raise can we actually call
