Meh, with 4 to the flop checking isn't that bad. Betting folds everyone a lot of the time, but not building a pot isn't great and neither is a free card. It's part of why being OOP is worst than being IP.
I'm not too afraid of being beaten. I think I like calling the turn and check-raising a non-spade river. You risk missing out if he doesn't value bet a K on the river, but I think you get the most value out of his one pair hands this way as long as giving him another chance to bluff if he has nothing.

flop is a must-bet IMO, esp at 50NL you think anyone is folding a FD or KX here?
