Villian is unknown, his 6th hand

This is kind of a wierd spot because against almost all his range either we're currently ahead but he has a lot of outs ie he has a high spade and posibly a pair, or he has a set and we're behind but our flush outs are clean...

Yeah I pretty much fold this every single time. Villain is unknown fold make a mental note, keep watching him.

Easiest fold. Think about it,
Villain's possible hands:
AsX- we're about 50:50
Flush- we're 2%ing...
Set- we're still worse than 2:1 dog.

Forgot: Other overpairs.... they have us bent over too

You guys are probably right but I'm not completely convinced.

Against this range we have about 32% equity and we have to pay 26 at a pot of 93. We have position on the turn, and calling can put him in a tough spot on the turn. If he has a medium/low flush a spade coming is a tough spot to be in, If he has Asx a non-spade is a tough spot to be in.

Hrm i think i would call and make them bet a lot on the turn before i would fold. There are a lot of turn cards that change the board a lot and we have position.

Also, i stopped cbetting monotone flops unless i decided i wanted to get it all in with my hand.

This is awful for so many reasons.

If you call whats your plan on the turn? Fold to another significant bet? A lot of villains fire another barrel here even with air/spade overcard. If he checks what do you do on a non-spade turn compared to a spade turn? This is really a tough spot to put yourself in and I'd rather do it against a player that I generally have an idea how they play.
