My problem is, his flop raise indicates that either I'm beat (against which I'm drawing virtually dead) or he's on a spade draw. If I put him on a spade draw, can't I bet/fold the turn, realizing he'll probably only raise with a hand that beats me, and just call my stop-n-go with a hand like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]? But what if he calls the turn, should I check-fold a spade river? Bet/fold it? Check-call a non-spade?

I wonder if you gain much with a turn stop-n-go.

I think now that it's heads-up, CO will bet again a high percentage of the time, whether he has you beat or not. (He probably doesn't have a flush draw, and if he does, he may semi-bluff it instead of taking the free card anyway.)
