I'd check. If you bet and get called you are splitting or losing 99% of the time.

i check this river too, looks to me like he has another weak ace or even something better.

No value here

You don't need to bet that much on the turn . Put out a feeler bet in the range of about $150 which helps you gather information on his hand .

Check the river .

i think his turn bet size is fine. most high spades will call so its good value. Less chance of being raised off his hand imo.

I don't think many good players call on a flush draw when you bet $200 into a $290 pot , especially when your hand is not well disguised .

If he's that bad to call in this spot , then you might as well bet the pot . I personally don't think you would get calls from players on a flush draw .

im likely betting this river for value and i love the size of the bets on every street. I'd bet something like 350 on river and wouldnt be suprised to see at K or a J call here.

That's what I was thinking as well, but I don't trust my own opinions enough right now to voice them in the face of the first couple responses that said there was no value to be had by betting the river.
