Hey Guys, maybe you can help me with this one.

Villain is a reg at these stakes with 18/7. With 3bet of 3%. He's a thinking player as far as I've noticed.

I think I've made two clear mistakes in this hand:

Mistake 1: Calling 3bet OOP with TT. I haven't seen him 3bet light. He also knows I'm tight.
Mistake 2: Check-calling the flop. I think better play would be to check-raise the flop and playing stacks if he made a 3bet. I think he would get it in with Ace of spade in his hand. So against his made flushes and Ace high flush draws I still have 55% equity.

And I'm not sure about the river. I think fold was good. But his turn check was a bit strange. Bluffing river with air would make sense since he saw my weakness.

Really would love your feedback on this tricky hand.

I don't think calling pre with TT is a mistake. His 3bet bb v sb is probably a lot higher than 3%. X/r the flop, call if he shoves. As played, probably folding river, if he has any kind of showdown value I guess he just checks it, and given the fact he cbet the flop I doubt he has air. He could pot control turn with a weaker flush which he doesn't want to stack with, like JsJx or something similar.

I also don't think calling BvB with TT is a mistake, but with his low 3bet % I'd tend to favor going broke on the flop. As played I'd fold the turn, he might be checking turn with any non-nut flush and I don't suspect a tight player to suddenly start bluffing on boards like that.

Fwiw I agree completely with the two other posters.

Think this is a solid line the runout was just bad for you.

Flop we can call or raise I am really indifferent to it at these stakes. Once called we just play it perfectly on none spade runouts and even when a spade does peal off we can play it perfectly.

Thanks guys... Jeez, good I asked for your feedback. I was in the dark here and would make a bad adjustment to my game apparently.

@Kasa and

@MattVIP suggested, turn check now makes more sense to me, since he could easily pot control non-nutted flush, jacks, queens, even kings.

Cheers, you guys rock!

Yeah. I like your line in this hand. I think against a tight 3betting range i raise the flop and check/fold on any spade turn.
