Well first and foremost, this is a 1 suited flop :)

Secondly, this is a tough hand, I'd say that Jack on the river probably didnt do much, but I think you might have him beat. Its possible he has the K-high draw here and when his board paired he has got a ton of outs. If the king gave him two pair here and a flush draw, you are way behind. But either way I think you won the hand because of the river card.

Nah.. the term for 3 of the same suit flopping is a 3-suited flop.

Touche

Very tough to put UTG on a hand. He limps then smooth calls a moderate raise. I would rule out AK. Was he limping w/ a KQ, QJ J10 spades, and if he was why the pot sized bets? Looks like someone trying to protect a big A like AQ or semibluffing w/ Ks hoping for another spade. Worst case for you he turned pocked 9 or 4 into a set on the flop.

Overall, very gutsy play. Hope you won.

The King on the turn helped him alright. He had :Kh: :Ks:. :(

I was thinking along the same lines of elipsesjeff and SteveO, that he paired his :Ks: and was continuing his semi-bluff. Stupid of me to risk all my chips on such a weak holding.

Is it just me or does the converter get confused by No Limit hands from Party? The pot-size bet amounts and the final pot size seem to be off.
