Is bet/folding okay here? Or should I just check behind?
Does it change anything if I have the As here?

With position here I think b/f is pretty bad. OOP it's close to c/f and b/f. The Ace of spades makes little difference IMO. Still checking the turn and if OOP def. checking.

[customer_nr1]

Then I guess I am pretty lost with this line... Could you say some situations where you would b/f?
What makes here checking better? Maybe it is too likely that I'm beat here if I get called/raised?
Would it change anything if the turn was like the 3 of spades?

Or is b/f a line that you take more often OOP than IP?

Thank you for your help!

I don't mind getting bluffed this hand, since the board is so scary. I would check behind the turn, and likely fold the river. Nothing changes with the As, although holding the nut flush draw would make you less inclined to bet since you could get check-raised big and forced to fold a nut draw.

Checking behind here is probably good. I dont mind b/f that much though. I really don't like the turn min c/r. If I call its pretty much only in the hopes that he shuts down on river b/c there is no way I am calling another bet.

The 3 of spades would be better but I'm not sure if I call. As in our hand would certainly be better. With the 3 instead of 9 and As in our hand I at least call for sure.

also, if you like it fine but having your stats to .01, especially VP$IP, is kind of silly. I think it will only distract you. Even if it doesn't hinder you, it certainly will not help you at all as compared to .1.
