flop all spades, with the nut blocker in my hand, and also top pair top kicker, I wanted to stay around here, especially as it was made so cheap.

bink nut flush here. I check behind as they arn't showing to much aggression, and hoping that maybe IP they will bet some weaker flush hands, or some kind of dodgy pairs if they think they are ahead

not a great card, and when it gets bet into this is kind of what I really wanted. the range that I put him on really doesnt smell like a FH to me at the moment of playing the hand. Looking back it kind of makes sense for him to have JQ, 55, 66 , JJ here.. Its not extremely likely, but the way I played my hand, I was going all in on pretty much all rivers.

Once you get to the river it's probably just a fold given that it gets bet and raised in front of and people rarely raise the king high flush in this spot especially on a 4 flush board where the board just paired. Even if you're not going to fold you certainly don't want to raise as there's very little value to raising and you're essentially over representing your hand.
It's great that you had a plan for the river but you need to be willing to revise your plan for hands when something happens in the hand that drastically changes your opponents' ranges. In this case, the river makes it so your hand is no longer the nuts and both players show lots of strength by betting and raising before the action even gets to you.
Checking back the turn and raising the river on a brick actually looks stronger to me than betting twice, so I'd abet the turn almost always.
Thanks for sharing the hand. Hopefully we can answer some more questions for you soon. Welcome to the site!
Instead of thinking about your specific hand (AsQx) and how you can extract the most value (ie. your thought process was "well I think I'll get my value from the river street"), think about how to extract the most value with your ENTIRE range. By betting AsQx on the turn, you get to bluff with some hands that otherwise would have never won the pot. Optimize your range as a whole and play each hand accordingly.
As an aside, it's also very rare to have the nuts in a scenario and close the action by checking and implying that you're also not looking to ever bluff that spot. In general, you want to reserve the right to bluff at any time and this means you're likely going to want to bet the nuts always in spots like this.
After flop I will try to trap the opponent.
Depends on situation on table on the turn, but in 75% I will also check and never raise on river.
Site is also really nice and hope to stay around :) Can't wait for the video uploading tool.
We should not be raising flop unless our image is super laggy. Even so, we are not getting value from many worse hands and turning top pair/nfd into a bluff is terrible.
