    yeah, barf.

    I would just move him in, it's less gross than checking or betting... wow I can't even come up with a logical amount to bet/fold, nor can I imagine he folds whatever to a CR. It's tough to see him bluffing this board if you check (without a spade). Betting something dumb like 350 might work, but a lot of people will just take the 'free' draw, or float you and push when you check and you'll fold the best hand.

    About the only mistake he can make at this point is to fold something like QsJx or fold a small PP with one spade, let him maybe do that.

    Button has like 1900 left. Pot has like 1100.

    You can either push, or bet close to the pot and commit yourself to it.

    Just shove all your chips in, if he wants to draw to his spade wreck his pot odds.

    Yeah I shoved, seemed like the only good option. I think I was a little unlucky though, he had 888...lol.

    Wreck his pot odds? He's the favorite.
