Thanks suspicious mind.

Unless I played a lot with the guy in late-middle position, it would have been hard for me to put him on a hand that beats my AK.

I would have a hard believing that someone had AQ, QQ, KK or AA because I would have thought they would raise preflop.

So the only hands that would have had me beat would be A5s or 55.

Even on the flop, the one caller slow-played 2 pair on a potentially flushing board. Is it possible he was looking to check raise the turn if the spade didn't come? It seems like checking not only once but twice in this spot is not something AQ, A5s, or 55 would do.

I appreciate the replies. I have to think about and study this a bit more because between the free cards and table image issue I'm having a hard time checking the turn.
