how would you have played it if you were in your opponent's shoes?

I'd probably do everything exactly the same as he did. I like his semi-bluff on the flop, and I like the medium-weak bet on the turn after he made his hand. If I was called on the turn I'd push, except in the case of the fourth spade dropping on the river (it would've scared me with only a ten high flush into checking behind as likely I'll only be called with a better flush.)
He immedi-called my all-in raise on the turn (to my great dismay as I knew what he had when it happened), here I think I probably would've at least given some pause to consider the possibility of losing to a higher flush on the checkraise, but would definitely lean towards a call here, mainly because my BB checkraise on the flop indicated a hand that would rather not see any more spades.
Otherwise, I think the various logistical variations of how the hand would've played out are probably just an example of just how much advantage position gives you, especially in no-limit.
