Thoughts?

I'm primarily wondering about the Flop play. Raising this flop just seems to scream draw, and I feel that AK-AJ are not likely to give me credit for a better hand given how aggressive I am. Plus given how passive he is I figure I'll get to showdown pretty cheaply, and can even bluff a spade that comes.

But the problem is I am less likely to get pocket pair type hands to fold, which I might with a Flop raise.

Would you bet the Turn? If so, what would you be representing?

i wouldnt bet turn, especially if uve been aggro, he could easily be going for pot control with aj or something - if hes been c-betting a lot and just c/folding turn then def consider taking it away. Im also fine with cold calling the flop, also especially if uve been aggro, id prob raise with a fd though since ur very unlikely to get paid off with a fd by just calling, calling and then waking up when a flush hits (which makes bluffing a spade if u missed ur straight all the more profitable)

Wrong forum?

Anyway your line is fine IMO except for river bet sizing might be too high, but that's image/read based of course.

If your image is laggy, then raising the flop or betting the turn is less likely to work than usual, and your draw is well-concealed, so calling/checking is more attractive than usual.
