    His range is uber polarised here.  Its either a overbet bluff with a huge hand, or missed spades.  I would likely have checked turn to c/c river.

    If he's a prankster its a call.  If he's solid its a fold.  Without more info I wouldnt really like to guess.  Main thing that would concern me though is he knows you must have some kind of hand.  With what he leaves himself it looks like he wants a call.  A SCbluff would just ship the lot.

    I would prob fold, cos call/call/lead big is nearly always a fish with a hand in my experience. Prob sometimes a missed draw though

    I check back turn sometimes, betting prob fine though

    Raise smaller pre, 3x is my standard.

    Flop, turn good.

    Sudden pot bet on river is strange, if I'm playing well I can fold, if in anyway tilted I snap it off lol.

    I would but as on button i wanted to price out blinds to calling with junk hands, he was calling quickly on flop and turn and did put him on a drawing hand or 2nd pair at best, i bet small on turn to pot control on the basis anything non spade or lower than a jack i call.
    The problem with this hand is i played against Mickjenn before and he did near enough the same bet against me at a higher level and i called him with ace high and he turned over a flopped house lol! (That hand will never ever leave me)

    I will post hand shortly

    I snap call, doesnt make sense here the line they have taken if they have a 10 its pretty odd. looks like busted fd or total air imo. Although im pretty confident we're ahead i wouldnt be re-raising as we are only ever getting called by better.

    Villain had posted blind  as they had just joined the table so 4x pre is fine.

    I have seen results now, but as I scrolled down I hadn't. My first thought to this post was I know opponent and it is a call every time against him!
