Re: Do you like the line? Mostly the river
Given the way you played the flop and turn, the river play is fine.
That being said, I don't like the combination of the flop and the turn play at all. Your best hope to make money on this hand is to play it on the flop like you have JJ, QQ or AK, and hope that your opponent has a 9 or a reasonable pocket pair.
The spade falling on the turn is doubly bad for you. Your opponent may have spades, and even if he doesn't have spades, he has to worry that you do. Put another way, you might have gotten the case 9 or an overpair in very deep on the flop. The likelihood of that happening on the turn after another spade hits if much lower.
If Villain is paying attention, your line looks a lot like a nervous A9 or a non-nut flush, giving Villain the perfect opportunity to get away from the case 9 or an overpair.
Given that he called your turn raise, he either has you beat or isn't very good.
