    Had an extremely TAG image. Even though image is not too important this early at least. Felt I represented the spades well. Just experimenting with new ways to play. Figured that this would be a good chance to try new things. Thoughts?

    I read spades as well in your pattern. Good take down.

    i think its too risky in the long run in a 4.40 but it worked there.

    You have to be careful about "table image" and "represetation" at this level. Some players will read spades here. Others won't even think about your hand, they will only look at theirs.

    Secondly, if you wanted to bluff at this pot, why not do it on the flop. You have position and he made a weak C-bet. Usually when I see someone bet the same amount early in a tournament at the cbet as their preflop bet, it smells weak. It smells like an AQ (or something similar) not suited spades here. You might have been able to take it down there.

    You played it very well though, assuming your opponent is paying attention. But, at this level, there is no guarantee they will even see the 4 spades, they may have rivered a king, give you a terrible call, and be rewarded here.

    I don't know how many opponents are going to believe that you chased a backdoor flush draw and hit it, but it seems to have worked here.

    I tried representing flush on turn. River came and I cant just check behind. Plus he needs a decent spade to call.
