Agree about not 3-betting the flop. But check/calling the turn seems like a mistake. It's true that there are a lot of scary cards, but assuming that our opponent is holding A456 suited in spades seems a little paranoid (we can be quite sure he has a non-spade ace in his hand, so two of his other three cards would have to be spades). I would regard any high card and any board pairing as safe for us, with sevens and eights still allowing us to split. That's 21 scoop cards for us and eight more that split; opponent has more like a dozen scoop outs. Of course he could have the spades, but he could also have A334 or some similar hand that we're in much better shape against.
