Scared set in the BB vs late pos raiser.

Leading the flop is superior to a check-raise. You are playing to stack someone, not to get one bet when nobody hit this board.

I lead the flop for 190, nobody is ever folding an ace or spades and early in a tournament there are many people who think that AQ=nuts that need to be protected on a drawy board.

Pot every street until you face resistance (even if a spade falls on the turn). If you are raised you should reevaluate and figure out if check-raising the next street or if 3betting is the best way to get the money in.

As played definitely call the river. The minraise looks like a flush or a bluff, I just don't see AK as a big enough part of his minraise-call range.
