Default 5/10 NL/PP Deep Stacks, Crazy(?) River Raise

I normally don't do stuff like this so let me know if you think this is a (-)EV play.

Me and villain both have around 4k. He raises to $50 from EP. I call with 4d5d. Flop comes Ts6s3s. He bets $50, I raise to $150, he calls. Turn is 2s. He checks. I bet 300, he raises to 600, I call. River is 2c. Board now reads Ts6s3s2s2c. He bets 600. I raise all in for $2600 more.

My thought process:

I bet the turn because I think he folds any overpair w/o a spade, and probably QsQx or KsKx since they are not big pot hands at that point.

His min-raise screamed As. I called intending to raise all in on any river that paired the board. I think he is a good enough player to not go broke with a flush on a paired board with stacks that deep. I think I am representing a set or two pair the whole way, and I don't think he has TT with that min-raise on the turn.

Why would you want him to fold an overpair that has no spade? He'd be drawing dead... If he has an overpair with a spade, he's not going anywhere and you're drawing dead.

By the previous bet on the turn, you've already tried to represent that you have the flush. If he's put you on that already, I don't see him laying the A spades (and maybe not the K spades) down.

I think you're better representing A/K or A/Q, one spade. If he has A spades or better you're toast, imo.

Obviously I'd love him calling a bet on a 4 flush with red aces but it is not happening with stacks this deep. As such, I'd prefer to take it down, rather than split it if a 5th spade comes out.

As for a hand like KsKx or QsQx, you really think he is calling a bet out of position on a 4 flush board?

a set/two pair checks behind with that turn.

I think you're right the more I think about it. Given that however, is someone still going to a huge all-in with a flush on a paired board with deep stacks?

Its posible that he might have read your turn bet as trying to push him off KK/QQ with your set (note the small river bet).

i have seen it sooo many times before. the majority of players, even solid seeming ones, dont lay down ace high flushes. paired board or not.

I think you would need a really good read on villian to make this play. If this is your average unknown player, I wouldn't even think about doing it. If you know each other well and he has a lot of respect for your play and will fold big hands to you, then I guess it's a reasonable play, although I get the feeling that 95% of all players will call you with the As.

I think 95% is way too high an estimate. That having been said, from the responses I hear, seems like I'm better off just mucking this on the turn.
