Million, what does this clown have?

This is the second time the reraiser has reraised, that's the only read I have on either of these guys. What do you do with this stupid little check-raise?

I think you have to call and reevaluate on the river. IMO, a random early Sunday million player's range here is just too wide. He could easily be on a draw or a bluff with a worse hand, thinking you are FOS. I don't love the turn bet, but since you did, I think you have to call. It sucks b/c you will have to fold to a lot of river bets. But, he very well may check the river or make a donkish bet you can call if he misses or was bluffing with a worse hand.

What's wrong with the bet? I'd say the reraiser is almost never checking a better hand on the flop, and this bet may induce a call or semibluff if he has overs with a spade (I would get it in against him at this point). It sucks that the other guy check-raised, but i think in general people play pretty straight-forward/passive in his spot.

i think the bet is fine , if you fold to the c/r. big spade overs wil call this turn bet imo, i dont think u get raised that much.
