How much should I have bet on the turn? I played it cute, checking it.. in hindsight I think I should have bet $500 or so?

How much do I bet on the river here, after my 'cute' play?

My range for the villian is QJ and below, Ax spades, or a small pocket pair.

I definitely would bet on turn, prob about 450 hoping to induce a raise. As played I would bet about 600 on this river and he will probably call with any ace, looks like he was on spade draw so maybe he has ace of spades and you will get paid a little. Your play also looks like a busted flush draw so maybe your check on the turn will help you get a little now on the river

Depends on what you've been doing. If you've been aggro, bet big. If you know there's no reads on you, about half the pot is perfect.

That turn check is just absolutely awful. He calls you there with like every hand he called a flop bet with.

Not always true, depending on the BI.


But he does often enough that you must must must bet. IF he would fold to a bet here, the chance of getting a bet out of him on the river is nonexistant.

i'd also say that this is a clear bet on the turn
if he is on the flush draw it's the only way to get some more chips in the pot if no spade hits on the river

750 turn, jam any river.
