K high flushes, even j high seems to weak to get called and be good 50%+ of the time. You probably don't have the naked K spades based on action of hand but fine to have no bluffs at 10NL v a nutted line.
Villain should call off flushes in theory but maybe exploitatively he could fold the weaker ones.

Obviously if villain is a fish it opens up other possibilities...

Disclaimer: I suck at poker.

Villain folds
Hero mucks :ks4::9h4:
Flop: Villain should probably be checking a lot, but I think people way over C-bet OOP. C-bets probably consist of strongest Ax and junk that blocks my calling hands (Ts9x etc) and small under pairs with a spade. In real time I thought flush draws will mostly be checking flop but villain might bet some he shouldn't.

I'm Calling all my Kx combos that contains a spade (esp the Ks). We're ahead of his junk and have decent equity VS the under pairs and since I figured villain is mostly checking flush draws, we can consider bluffing spades.

Turn: I find that on dynamic boards players tend to bet smaller with their weak hands and go large with their strong hands afraid to get drawn out on. Though I think strongest hands like sets try to check raise some percentage of the time. In retrospect I think villain might have too many two pairs in range (Including AK) where if I hit my 9 or my K I'm no good. Also, Ks9c makes a better call. In real time I counted them as live + with intention of jamming spades facing a bet I could also have some showdown value VS bluffs like under pairs with a spade.

^ I actually ran this spot the problem is that the closest two sizes chosen are 70% or 170%. where the actual bet was 100%. At 70% it mixes with the 9c being a pure call.

River: On the flop I thought most flush draws should check. I think the most likely hands that pot turn and river are AK , AQcc., JTss/cc
I think this spot is so under bluffed at 10NL that villain is folding everything that isn't a flush and is probably letting some of them go as well. Blocking the nut flush, I think I have to jam once I don't fold turn.

Conclusion: Fold turn as played jamming river is probably a must?

I like it. I have tried this too but only in position and only against the right kind of opponent. Has to be against a solid reg for this to work often enough to try. The prevailing thought is at 10NL the river is underbluffed, so a reg knows this, so exploit it.
