The hands I fear are TJ or 2 spades having sp'ed the turn.

Easy, easy, easy fold. You've basically represented the flush, and he's raising. You're toast.

My half pot bet on the river could look like a value bet from a very strong hand or scared bet from a moderate hand looking for value from a smaller 9, for instance.

His stats swayed me to call after some thinking even tho I didn't have a lot of hands on him.

He had KTo w T of spades so on the flop he had an inside draw w oc and picked up a T high flush draw on the turn-far too loose a call on turn imo.

I think he made an excellent bluff attempt. I prob would've folded any single pair.
