Rationale is that the call probably indicates a big spade, so want to give it the poorest odds possible.

So how bad is it?

Not a fan. You're giving yourself no way out if he does have it. I'd put in a healthy bet but I'm just not a fan of getting all my chips in here when 2 spades is very realistic.

What do you suggest, leaving yourself with 400 chips? I don't think you need to always go broke with TPTK but I'm willing to against a flopped flush. There are many other more likely holdings for villian, including OP's suspicion of a flush draw.

I think his flop bet is exactly the right size. The equivalent bet here is ~625. Once I bet over half my stack, I'm pushing. One spade is more likely than two here, and he may just have a worse queen. I like the push.

I think it's okay. I raise a little less preflop to keep the pot small though.
