Re: A turn and river dilemma (possibly boring)
Haven't read anything beyond the OP, and I barely got through that.
Based on your read (especially this part: "I have seen him bet with only a draw once or twice, but he doesn't do it often.") I don't think Villan hit a flush, here. He may be freerolling you with the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but it's unlikely. So, at worst you're splitting.
Raising the turn doesn't gain you anything. A 3-bet could mean what you already know, a call could as well. And, if he's playing two-pair or an unlikely set, you don't want to take away his initiative. Either way, he's going to see the river, and "chargining him to draw" doesn't work, as he's probably getting half of his own money, anyway. So, just call the turn. On the river:
If it's a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], call or check behind.
If it pairs the board, call or check behind.
Anything else, raise/call or bet/call.
