So I misread another board? Jesus. I might have a real problem. If the flop is two spades, I'd have bet. And, regarding other comments I made about your turn play, I would almost never three-bet top two once the spades come in on the turn. So, when I say, why didn't you raise the turn?, its because I didn't think the flush had come in yet.
I like waiting til the river to raise. Thing is, in a lot of cases, I can fold to a turn raise. In this case, you couldn't be counterfeited, so even though a spade might not prompt me to bet the river, if you just called the turn and the river blanks off, I'm most likely firing again. Sure, its not a happy looking board. But I have a strong hand, and most people would have raised the turn with the flush. Also, given that you three-bet pre-flop, and the As is on the board, I'm much more likely going to give you credit for a good ace rather than the nut flush. But maybe that's another argument for raising the turn. And maybe its a good argument for me three-betting the turn, spades and all....
