cap the flop. you are almost certainly ahead, and if not you have outs. on the turn i at least raise once, maybe even 3-bet. on the river, i would probably play it like you did.

i would definitely 3bet this flop... you are most likely ahead and have plenty of outs to fill up in the case your opponent does have a flush...I like to stay aggressive in this situation until a fourth spade comes (if it does)

I agree with Thirddan. I don't like to give credit for a flopped flush very easily. If this was his turn to flop one, good for him, and he MIGHT get a couple extra bets off of you (unless you fill up, in which case he'll pay through the nose).

I would 3-bet/cap the flop and raise the turn. If he's still coming strong after that, you could slow it down.

I think you got off the gas a little too soon.
