I'm posting this hand to see how others play this. Villain is a bit of LAG but I think I loose him with an all-in. Basically what's my goal here? maximize or take it down? Do I just go all-in, bet, check raise all-in, check raise? I think a check raise all-in is best, but what if he checks behind and another spade comes? Would you play this differently with As-Xs?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I'd be betting out here. Another spade kills your action and could also lose you the hand, but I'm really betting out for value here more than protecting my hand. Check/raising shows a ton of strength. I'd bet flop for t700 here.

Ok thanks, that makes sense. I think I tend to get to tricky in these situations.

If villain calls your flop bet and the turn is a blank, do you just push? What if the turn is a spade?
