Okay, so on the flop, I obviously have no interest, but it gets checked around. On the turn, my stab might've been a bit illadvised, but I thought it had a good chance of taking the small pot down. Then, I get raised, and things get interesting. Having played with this player a bit before, and for a while today, I knew he was fairly aggressive, though not a maniac. I really couldn't see him having bare trip kings, as I'm certain he would've bet the flop with top pair. Kings full didn't seem likely, and while a set is possible...well, sets don't happen too often, right? So, I thought there was a good chance that he was either (a) semi-bluffing a flush draw that he just picked up, or (b) playing back at what looked like (and was) a steal on my part. So, I called with the intention of betting out on any non-spade river, and obviously folding if raised and blushing if called.
Probably not very +EV in general, but I did feel pretty certain that he did not have a made hand on the turn, so I think in this case it wasn't really all that bad of a move. Nevertheless, I've got my flame-resistant gear on, so hold nothing back, guys!
