    i would prob say he has a flush draw and is hoping for u to check turn and let him see river for free i would call the raise if the turn is not a spade shove

    I don't think the A is particularly worrying on the flop but I agree with Batkin, there is a possible flush draw there. If he's a good player as you say you would probably put him on a draw with an unlikely bullets hand. I don't think he would have bothered with the bet on the flop unless you saw him as an aggressive player who liked to bluff to take down the blinds. For those blind levels though I don't think the villain would honestly bother.

    I would say you're 99.9% ahead on the flop so would have raised again for information and got off the hand on the turn if another spade or Ace came. If not I think I would have shoved with trip Jacks at that point (although I can't see your stack due to the formatting!).

    I had the other guy covered, he had about £1.50-£1.70 back, which made me feel commited. Had a really spewy few days.
