I should have just checked, i just had a problem with laying down the hand after the pot my final bet was only like 1/3rd of the pot. but you are right i should have just checked. my bet was way to week to try to push out a small spade so i would have been better to just give the hand up. Even though he should have been gone on the turn. But this is just one my many holes in my game. I keep reading and get better by the day. Won't make that mistake again.
