    Nasty spot with TheBaddie.

    He limps in and then calls the massive raise I put in.

    Of what beats me - I don't think he can have Q9, J8 or 8-10 here. Would he call the squeeze with these hands? Still lowish stakes so possibly. Could be J-10 at a push.

    Its difficult because I don't think there is much out there that beats me J-10 or a set, but the way he has played it I can't beat much bar something like KQ(Spades) or maybe some kind of pair flush combo. Would he limp and then call a 5x raise with AJ/KJ etc?

    Really tough spot! Any reads on villain - shown many loose starting hands previously? 

    You have to just gamble on what he has based on the probability. ie: possible but slim hes flopped a straight. more likely hes got a flush draw, possibly the nuts, possibly with straight draw combo.

    All I can say here is call and reevaluate the turn card, check and see what he does. If he had two pair or better I'd expect him to bet about £1.20 and shove the river.

    A non spade 8 would be a great turn for you maybe?
