It will feel weird at first, but these value bets that you never used to make will represent a healthy part of your long term profit.

That's a great board for you given the action so far.

take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

thanks for the input.
I think playing the river is a big weakness in my game. I tend to just try and get a cheap showdown unless im positive im way in front.

a lot of times you'll find a busted flush draw or at best a lower pair here. Don't give credit for the flush unless action tells you so, particularly if there are only 3 spades out

At this level A Q will over-call the river. Don't miss out!
