I think I mostly like your line, cephalopod. I probably fire a little less on the river.

BTW, as played, do you think I should fold to a river CR?

I'd probably have bet the turn. If he came back over the top then I'd almost have odds to chase my boat and one out sf draw (I think, the math is too involved for me right now).
I'm afraid that by not betting the turn you have set yourself up having no clue at all about his hand and a checkraise on the river will put you to the test. He could easily raise you with a weaker flush under the assumption that you have a str8 and are worried about the flush that hit. If he did c/r the river then I'd make a note to not mess with the guy very often, that's a ballsy move.

It just feels like he's trying to get to a showdown as cheaply as possible, which tells me he probably has a non-spade straight. If that's the same amount you'd bet with the nuts, then I like it.

I have $120, villain covers.
I get
![[Jc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jc.gif "The Jack of Clubs")
[Ts][Td][9s] in MP and limp. Villain in SB raises. EP (unremarkable) and me are the only callers. Flop (pot=$20):
![[Ks]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ks.gif "The King of Spades")
[Tc][8s]. Villain checks, EP checks, I pot. Villain calls quickly, EP folds.Turn (pot=$60):
![[Qs]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qs.gif "The Queen of Spades")
. Villain thinks for a while and checks. I check behind.River (pot=$60):
![[4c]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/4c.gif "The Four of Clubs")
. Villain thinks again and checks. I bet $30.Here's my thinking throughout the hand: please let me know if you think it is correct.
Preflop: standard: I have a decent hand, position on a loose raisor.
Flop: Usually villain will try to pick up the pot if he has a decent part of the board. I think he'd lead out with a set, big draw, or even top two. I pot because I think I'm ahead here, and because I need to protect against better draws.
(BTW, what would you do if checkraised allin here?)
Turn: I make my flush (third best). I'm still quite confident I'm ahead but I'm not sure what villain called my flop bet with. At any case if I'm ahead then villain doesn't have many outs against me so the free card is not too much of an issue. If I'm behind I don't want to invest too much. Also, I wouldn't like to face an allin checkraise here and having to figure out if it was the nut flush or not. Finally, if I check behind here villain may think that I took a stab on the flop and he may bluff the river.
River: it's pretty clear now that villain doesn't have a monster. I make a value bet which, according to him may look like a bluff. (This is my standard amount; I'd bet the same with the nuts). He should call here with anything better than two pair I think.
