AK in the SB
 

The way the villain had taken a pot or two earlier I thought he was thinking about the game more than average player at this level, and I got the impression both of us were dominating the table, no other reads.

Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $4.1</font>, Hero ?

I don't like the board pairing and I don't like the spades either. I am not willing to commit - should I?

3 bet pre then if he 4 bets you can fold. In a 3 bet pot you can stack off here much more happily with AK.
