3-bet the flop with the 2 spades, If the flush draw wasn't there, then I could see the calling the raise and c/r ing the turn.

I dont like this play against more reasonable opposition at all. This is one of those times where you can pass on a small edge to exploit a larger edge later. If someone does have the flush draw they are getting 2 to one on their bets anyway. Thier hand is only a 2.18 to 1 shot(and they lose very little on the bets that go in on the flop) if you dont count the Ac. If the ace is in their hand its a 1.85 to 1 shot(and they are making money on that bet).
If you wait until the turn you not only keep the pot reasonable size, you also have cut their odds from about 2 to 1 on the flop to worse than 4 to 1.
If a spade falls you saved a bet on the flop. If not you have a much larger edge on any money that may go in now..
However, VPIP80 is not reasonable and seems to call with any 2 cards. A reraise is probably in order as well as a bet on the turn.
