Turn decision with KK no spade...

[Megenoita]

I figured villain (average player, moderate aggression) for a pair on the flop. On the turn I don't really want to bet/fold, but I would rather do that than check/call, check/call, and I can't check/fold. So is bet/fold the best line here?

This all looks fine and standard, I'm not sure what else you can do here. Him folding his pair/nothing hand on the turn is a great result for you, since he has lots of outs to win or split.

Bet/fold against most opponents. Some tricksters I'd call down against, though I'd hate doing it. nice hand.
