Hey LuckyManFromLT,

Preflop call is marginal especially while deep. It's likely better to 4b or fold here.

Flop is likely fine with the backdoor spades.

I would imagine river is a mandatory bluff to fold out stuff like AQ/AK/AJ etc. It's shame to give these cards the opportunity to check back. River check would be reasonable given we check, but I imagine it's possibly better to just lead.

Do you see a point in x/shoving OTR? Or in this limit it would be just a spew?

The problem with checking is that we give him a chance to check back and realise the equity of hands that should be easy folds for him vs a river lead.

Assuming we have already checked though then a x/r could be reasonable. It partly depends on how frequently he will double barrel spades. If he mainly barrels he'll have very few spades in his range so very difficult for him to call a x/r. We are slightly more likely to have stuff like 77/88 also imo.

Agree with weasel.

Should we have raising range OTF?

Basically a raising range on this texture would be optional imo. It partly depends on our range for calling a 3b OOP since it doesn't necessarily connect with the board that hard.

So yeah, we can have a raising range, but we don't have to. It's probably favourable to have one though, we have more options at our disposal etc.
