Final Table: Heads up: How should I have played it.

[vandalay]

A little history. We had been 6 handed for almost 100 hands thus I have a good read on my people. In general, post flop raises were respected and I had not seen my opponent show down a bluff.

We finally get heads up for 1st/2nd and this is the first hand.

*** FLOP *** [Js 7s 3s]

This flop gives me second pair, decent kicker but no spades.

What should be my plan?
a) check, let him bet and check raise (AI?)
b) pot sized bet
c) just check and fold, dont want to get your money in with 3 spades on the board.

Ok, I choose option a and bet... he calls, now what.

aggie94 bets 15,000
Padge 11 calls 15,000
*** TURN *** [Js 7s 3s] [Ac]

a) Bet again, try and win this pot
b) Check and call let him draw for a spade, and if it missed, check and call
c) Check and fold to any bet
d) Bet and fold to a raise.
e) push, dont let him get there.
