I would like your views on this hand. I have a solid image been playing pretty tight. sb and bb are both fairly sensible tight players.
Also can someone tell me how to copy ipoker HH to the board easily?
I raised because the players on my left were all tighties and I fancied snaffling up the blinds , I haven't raised for a while and should get this through. The flop brings me a pair, I hold the A of spades and more importantly two checks from my opponents so I fire a decent bet at it. When the turn brings the spade I decide to play hardball. All comments welcome.
I am thick skinned so don't be shy.

$7.5k deepstack blinds 75 150 All players to my left have 5k plus stacks. I have 7kish. It has been bet pass pass pass ect for a couple of hands

I am in hijack with A4 , folded to me and I bet 450.

sb calls bb calls.

Flop is  4s Js Th

Action goes check check I bet 600. Call, call (ugh)

Turn is  3s

check check . I bet 3900 , over the pot but enough to cover both players.

I will leave it there for now

I suppose I'd expect both foes to be drawing on a flop like that when they both call the 600..certainly the overcall by the third player shouldn't be with a monster on a tricky flop like that

maybe one with spades, maybe one with KQ, perhaps somone has 10x or something

On the turn, why the overbet?..you've got 6000 left and stick 3900 in..wouldn't 2500 do the same job in gettinmg marginal/drawing hands to pass without committing you to the hand/getting pot stuck of they push

Continuation bet for more on this board if you decide to fire at it. There is 1350 in the pot. No - one ever folds any pair ir draw here for 600.

Check the turn behind and peel a river. You need to spike a spade to win the pot.

I don't understand your flop bet you were the preflop raisier from a known stealing position then you c-bet less than half the pot on the most draw heavy of boards..

They are not going to put you on a made hand and your follow up on the turn is gonna get called by Jx and obv the made flush.

As played check the turn and value bet the river should you hit your spade or your A or 4.

The c-bet wasn't enough I agree, poorly sized and easily exploitable.
The turn overbet was enough to put both players allin . If I bet 2500 here can I really fold for 1400 more with a nut redraw? I thought putting them both in gave me the best chance of getting the semibluff through.

You shouldn't be c-betting this flop against two players. It just won't get through often enough and once you've been called why don't you just give up the pot on the turn?

I check the flop and check the turn.
