I fold preflop. You probably should, too.

Check-raise or bet/3bet the flop. Your hand has great equity versus his range but you're out of position and you stand to gain from minimizing the number of streets you play.

As played, make your turn check/raise larger.

As played, I was going to say "call" because you're getting 2:1 and you've invited him to bluff at the river but I just can't think of that many hands that you beat. He called the turn check/raise with something, and I don't think that he would jam a set on the river, nor a straight, nor an overpair (unless it's AsAx). His range is probably polarized between nut flushes and bluffs and he can't have that many bluffs. Would he value-shove QsQx here? I doubt it, unless he really really thinks you have a straight and won't be able to fold it. Unfortunately for you, he probably would valueshove AsX with exactly the same reasoning and there are a lot more of AsX than there are QsQx.

As played, the river is probably a fold. I wouldn't have checked the river though and any bet would have committed me, so for me the river would have been a bet/call. Or, more likely, just a shove.

Meh, ugly spot.

for starters mostly fold pre and occasionally 3 bet. Even if villain plays very straightforward pre we're OOP so even if he'll CBet and then shut down unimproved 100% of the time we're like getting to the river if we call a flop bet and just like ? There also arent many flops that are gunna hit us hard and get us paid with this hand.

As played I prefer a little more aggression on the flop. A high varience option is to bet/shove over a raise (and cry when he shows us AA obv, bc we run so good) we could also check raise. With overs a FD I don't see why we should play so passive by c/cing when we stand a chance of taking the pot down right now, although i agree it is much less varience this way.

As played, the turn is kind of weird. I'd either just call and check raise all non spade rivers if villain has shown the ability to value bet somewhat thin or raise a lot more on the turn. This little wtf sized raise is confusing bc it doesnt extract much additional value for our hand, and doesnt really help us define villains range either if a final spade drops.

The river is weird. I wanna say we've opened the door for him to bluff with our goofy sized raise on the turn followed by our river check (like we were trying to protect a non flush hand) so we have to call.... but then Im like well what is he calling our raise with on the turn that he is either overvaluing on the river or turning into a bluff on the river? The list seems kinda small so I dunno...

Yeah, a c/r on the flop was prob the best play. As it happens he had 6s 5s for a flopped outside straight draw, which i give him cheap to draw too!!!!

Would a player with his stats call a flop of any size with such a draw?

plus folding was far the best play as stated. He was 3 betting alot so.... no excuses, my play was shocking.

I might have put him on pocket fives. This is an example of how being out of position can hurt you. Villan C-bet the flop and you just called. He should have been worried about a spade, especially after a significant show of strength on your part (check raise) except that he had the straight flush. It was a smart play on his part by not reraising on the turn. You had the third best hand (losing to 6 5 of spades and Ace high flush). It really looked like the guy could have Ace of spades.

The three of spades is a tough break for your hand. Any other spade an you win a good sized pot.

Fold preflop.
The only hands I ever bother calling from the blinds with are KQ and AQ and tbh am more keen on doing this when its from a stealing position so their range is real wide and if I know they aint gunna call a 3bet with worse.

K9s is an insta-fold.
