Keep betting for value? Anyone worried about a slowplay anywhere?

i'd check-call. Someone who was slowplaying a T on the flop may have been scared by the 3rd spade. Someone with a flush will be scared of the double-paired board. Someone else will see both these possibilities and then bluff-bet.

Check-calling will win against an aggressive 8, or A high. But i think a value bet here is razor-thin. Thats why i prefer check-call for the showdown.

Comments welcome,
