I would have bet the turn harder.

Let me guess, he have AK?

A set on an all flush board doesn't scare me too much against one opponent.

But then again, maybe that's just a leak in my game, heh.

EDIT - On second thought I would have raised to the pot on the flop and pushed the turn.

But take my advice with a grain of salt, I'm a n00b.

I'd try and get to the river cheaper. Villain is giving you a great price... why not take it? If another spade hits you can drop it with a clear conscious, if the board pairs you can get your money in feeling good about it, and if none of the above you will hopefully be able to call him down cheaply.

EDIT: On a board like this, being the preflop raiser - villain should be feeling pretty sure that YOU don't have the flush. Give him the opportunity to bluff away. The way this played out, I have a hard time putting him on anything but the flush. You display strength on all streets and he still pushes into you on the river.

I call the all in.

Villian shows KQo for runner runner 2 pair.
