This is a multiple part question for those of you who have time. The tabel was generally aggressive but it was a cash game which I had not been at long so I had no solid reads.
Question 1: Was it correct to call given my 2 to odds w/ top pair on the flop? or should I have maybe raised my top pair?
Question 2: Should I have called the river bet all in with top pair? Less than 2 to 1 but action still behind me and a seemingly over aggressive bettor?

Kind of a long post but I would greatly appreciate some input. Thanks a lot!

Fold preflop. Play this hand from late position only for straights and flushes only.

Since you didnt, you have to ask yourself what you were hopin to hit. I think a fold after flop would be correct. Tuff to go to war with a pair on a draw heavy board that may have already hit someone. If you had your spades you were looking for, I would continue with hand.

As played, fold to the All-In.

IMO

Definitely let this go UTG+1. The texture of this flop is not good for you, get away ASAP.

In this situation I call this flop, but many times this is a fold. villain is deep stacked and so there is value here at selected times.
The chance you are beat here is very good, and as such a river call is not reasonable. This flop is a fold for me on a tight table because tptk does little good with three to an overcard straight on the board

EDIT: This pfr may not be advisable, if you hit what you want, FD or SD, you want all those limpers, if not, like what happened, you have a good chance on most flops to be behind.
