I'm pretty sure he's able to 4-bet a draw against me, as well as a 3, should I still 3-bet this flop though, or just call? I feel I'm loosing value by just calling, but by 3-betting I might have to make a real tough deciscion here or on a later street.

I usually just call and raise a non spade turn.

[Iwind]

I called, but the turn was a spade!

this really depends on how he is playing..

was it the king of spades?? you might be able to fold depending on what he does

for some reason this was hilarious.

Unfortunately it was not the king of spades, it was a 9 I think. He fired 700, and I decided to call, planning to fold to a big bet on the river, thinking he might try to rep the flush on turn but wouldn't dare to bet river strong without that or a FH.

Anyways, I think the flop is the most interesting still, you've played the guy gabe, do you 3-bet him here? I'm still thinking 3-betting might have been the best move, even thought I might be put to a tough decision later.

And he was playing very aggressively, and so was I, and at this point he was probably starting to get frustrated as he'd gone from +8k to -2k vs me the last 20 min, playing him on 2 tables.

i dont think i usually 3 bet, i would just call all his bets (maybe not a river push)and bet if he ever checks. he has a wide range here and i dont want to get stacked for such stacks with just KK.

Yeah, we're pretty much thinking the same then, apart from that I decided to check behind on river when he checked to me. River was a ten, not spade. He had 55, probably figured it was no good when I called flop and therefore bluffed turn.

About river push, he pushed 4k into a 2k pot earlier the session with 8 high on a paired board of rainbow low cards, then I actually also had KK and folded. And I probably would have folded KK here too to a push.
