Why did you bet so little on the flop?

It would be really hard for me to fold that river shove getting over 4.5:1 to call and there's a good chance I could have the best hand there. That's a great flop to float and the turn is a great bluff card, especially if the opponent is holding 2 spades. I think I'd make a crying call on the turn and see the bad news.

You should be more aggressive on the flop. But when the board showed A and you got reraised you should fold

The turn is a bad card and a very bad card to turn ur kings into a bluff. Why would you bluff the turn? If he has a ace hes not folding after callig the flop. If he has a hand like 99-QQ the value bet is to tiny and risky. Dont think you get 2 barrels of value from these hands anyways. If he has the flush, i would like to check back the turn and call his missed flush instead depending on his sizing. If the spade falls you can still fold his river bet since the fd got there and Ax got there. I like the small bet on a paired board, however i dont like the barrel on the turn.

My bad. It looks like I wasn't 100% on my reply.

I mean to say that with the bet sizing, it's a great flop for the opponent to float and the turn gives the opponent a great card to bluff with [if they didn't have the A]. If the opponent had 2 spades and turn the flush draw, then they have some equity if they shove the turn and OP calls. Villain is getting just the right odds for a flush draw if OP calls.

Check-folding/check-calling would've been the better option for OP, but as played, OP put themselves in a really ugly situation with the bet sizing and stack sizes.
