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.

i'd usually throw in a block bet, c/cc (check/crying call) against some opponents, c/f against others. the only thing you beat now is a bluff.
also - bet pot on flop, 2/3 pot on the turn, you are probably still good, and flushes c/r or cold call anyway, so you have an easier decision later on, because you've shown strength. with your flop bet you could have QJo for what I know.

Block bets aren't going to work on the river too well because straights will MOSTLY just call and flushes will reraise, and that comprises a large percentage of his hand here. When you are re-raised, which I feel will happen quite often, you're done. When you are called, you are almost always beat, unless this player totally sucks, and you really can't know that yet. I check, if he bets like 150 or something ass, just call, otherwise, let it go.

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