Hero?

Not much of a read on villain. I've had a run of good cards, so I've been 3-betting a lot, so I don't think he needs an especially big hand to call me preflop. Given that both the ace and the king of spades are already out, I'm not sure what flush I should be afraid of either than QJs/JTs. On the other hand, I'm not sure what he could have called me with on the flop, either. Do I commit myself, or abandon ship?

bet here. I think he's calling the flop with a worse K or perhaps an underpair, not a flush draw (unless you have reads that state otherwise).

I think you bet a little more than 1/2 the pot here. Don't always be afraid of the flush. If he raises, you have a tough decision. If he calls, I would put out a small blocking bet on the river. He is probably holding a weaker king....KQ maybe? I would try to keep the aggression up and the pot small, so 1/2 pot turn and 1/3 pot river.
