I thought about bluffing this hand, but I think villain would call, even though there were four cards of the same suit on the board.

Would you pay or not?

Razmišljao sam o blefiranju ove ruke, ali mislim da bi negativac platio, iako su na ploči bile četiri karte iste boje.

Da li biste biste platili ni ne? :size:

I'm not much of a poker expert, but I'd play the same as you. You didn't win a hand, and you didn't lose much either.

I think that bluffing is not good in this spot, simply because you don't get many hands better then yours to fold (only hands better then yours that fold are some straights)

I don't think he would fold a baby flush after you check the turn

Preflop
Limping is fine blind vs. blind. My plan would be to then limp-jam, if he puts in a raise. Especially if its a large raise like 3,5BB, which some players are using from BB for whatever reason.

Flop
C-bet is fine, but I think, your sizing of almost full pot is to large. But maybe its ok, if he is a calling station.

Turn
Obviously you did not want to see another spade, so you have run out of value now, and checking is the right play.

River
There is no point in turning your hand into a bluff, since you still have some showdown value. He could have top pair or a worse two pair, which also has no spade, and then it goes check-check, and you win at showdown.

Results
You are being very results oriented here, because it turns out, he rivered you with a straight. But getting drawn out on is part of the game. You got him to put in a lot of chips on the flop with 7% equity, and no chips went in on the river, when you were beat. That is the definition of a perfectly played hand, even though this time you ended up losing it.
