This is a crappy river for a number of reasons. It downgrades my hand to the 3rd nuts, it makes it a lot easier for Villain to have the second nuts, and it polarizes my range to the point where the only worse hands that call a shove will be bluff-catchers. The big sticking point for me is Villain's flat call on the turn. I expected him to shove his value hands, so when I called, I thought he'd often be drawing. He's not calling a river shove with a busted spade draw, and if he had something like TJ or Tsxs, he got there. I was surprised to see 98, though I actually think this is a good way to play it. It just wasn't what I was expecting.
