Re: Pushing it too much?
I think it's significant to know if you have a spade or not because I like it much better if you don't. I suppose you would have mentioned it, and if he's the type to wait til the turn to pop you with top pair or better then once the turn gets there you're in very good shape. I like checking the river also because it virtually forces him to bet his JTs or whatever if he was semibluffing --- and if he's aggro he'll be value-betting QsJs and worse here.
