I C/R this flop almost 100% of the time. Why not let him C bet here?

I hate giving free cards. I don't want him checking behind and then seeing another spade fall off.

You raise a good point about letting him C-bet though. Thanks.

I know what you're saying but there's absolutely no reason to put your opponent on spades here. Heads-up, I think that most opponents will C-bet in his position anyway. But you have the J of spades, so it wouldn't be a complete disaster if another spade fell. I'm not particularly worried about a heads up opponent having two of a suit just because the flop is two suited.
