Was thinking bout checkraising on the flop or turn, but i had the read of a high PP. The 3 spades on the flop scared me. Was a though call on the turn, but it worked out.
Did i missplayed this hand?

A touch out of my range at 200nl but im all in there too.
I guess you pay a premium sooted hand tht flops the flush

Fold pre-flop. You're out of position and the money isn't deep enough.

Post-flop, meh. No matter what your opponent has a spade on the turn will be very bad for you. Hence, I try to get it all-in on the flop. No real standard way to do that. Check/min-raise (push turn), and bet/re-raise are pretty good lines.

At some point we take our thumb out of our mouth and stop seeing monsters under the bed...

AKs would bet for value here, not try and push you out of the pot.

This line is too loose weak/passive for me.

Fold Pre-flop to that raise OOP.
Bet or Check-raise (NOT a min-raise) that flop. (check/call bad) Be wary of AKs smooth calling here.
Bet the (non-spade)turn hard if we've made it this far. (JJ probably folded the flop re-raise, AKs will smooth call again, maybe raise at this point)
Push your boat on the river (you are shortstacked anyways, AKs will call)

You're hand is greatly disguised here from your PF call, but you need to be much more aggressive IMO with a relatively scary flop like that to chase the guy with :As: out.

I think the preflop call is meh. If you think there's a good chance of stacking him if you hit a set, then I think calling is okay. On the flop however, I would follow Fnord's advice. I would probably check raise all in on this flop, since any healthy sized CR commits you anyway, and no way in hell am I laying this down on the flop in fear of a flush or higher set. The all in CR also gives terrible drawing odds to villian if he has something like AA or KK with the A or K of spades, but at the same time the overbet looks so suspicious that most times villian will insta-call with AA or KK (or any overpair for that matter), probably even without a spade. Villian's short stack makes this hand easy to play IMO.

It's a break even call at best, more likely around a -$4-6ish of expectation. Unless you plan to play out of position without a set nor read sometimes. I did the math on this a looooong time ago. Use the search function. If you refute those findings we'll talk.

c/ring enough to pot-strike him has the same effect and is more likely to get called by a player who can't think ahead to the next street. Just shoving might spook him off. Again, no read sucks, but given the quality of the pre-flop decision and his stack size I'm not surprised he's playing three figure pots the way most posters around here like to play two figure pots. In the dark against an unknown opponent.

To make the preflop call worth it, hero has to stack him pretty much everytime he hits. Let's be realistic.. that doesn't happen.

Alright, cool I submit. You reasoning makes sense.

Hmmm. I might disagree here. I find that situations when a player makes a bet that leaves either himself or yourself with something ridiculous like 1/5 your remaining stack are scarier than open pushing. Maybe that's just me though. The main thing is our intentions are the same thing.

Edit: I think your logic about not shoving would probably be more effictive against a fish than a thinking player. Correct?
