1. This definitely looks like a pair that the pro is trying to protect. Most likely a J or 7, but maybe 88, too.

2. Since we're presumably drawing, I see no reason to get nuts on the flop - just call and see the turn. I would raise any spade and maybe an 8, and call otherwise. Depending on exactly what you think his impression of you is, you might try representing a set and raising and Brett mentioned.
