Since I'm OOP is this the right line? I c-bet like 80-85% of the time and close to 100% heads up. People have started to play back at me a little, so I'm wondering if I should fire this turn b/c I don't think he's letting go of even top pair here. Also, him c/ring AI on turn would suck.

PF and flop seem fine to me. You have the nut flush draw, two overcards, and a backdoor straight draw, so this is barely a c-bet IMO... You've got a lot of possibilies here.

Turn? Villain makes a 1/3-pot sized bet, which seems to suggest to me he wants a call. OTOH, he might just be taking a stab since you checked the turn. My guess is that he's holding a six, top pair, or 2 pair and is hoping to see a blank on the river. He's offering you 4:1 odds, though. You're got about a 20% chance of hitting a spade on the river. You've got some implied odds here, but I think they're diminished by the chance that you might also be up against a boat if/when you hit your flush. 9s might bad news if villain has a 6 or a 9 in his hand, so that's one less out you can bank on...

River: Check fold is fine... I don't think I want to lose any more money with Ace-high here...
