Default What hand is calling me that I beat? UB 80/160

I think a major leak in my game lately has been betting rivers, when no possible hand is going to call me that I beat.

80/160 UB.

7 handed. UTG is fishy and on a roll. I'm guessing he's playing about 70% He limps UTG. SB completes. I do the virtual knock on the table with A9o. Anyone put a raise in here as I'm relatively certain I have the best hand?

Flop is k48 all spades, I have no spades. SB checks; I check.

One thing about UTG is he'll rarely bet if he has missed.

Turn is an Ace of hearts. I bet UTG calls, SB folds.

River is a Ten of clubs.

I bet, and get raised. Easy laydown? Small Pot? QJ with a spade?

I think its player-dependent.

Betting the river is ok if he bets the flop when he hits and makes crying river calls. After the raise, I think it is a good fold but I have a hard time folding for a single bet on the river as well. He may have the QJ with a spade or a slowplayed flopped flush, which is my read.

I definitely raise preflop. It builds up your fold equity on the flop. You very likely have a ton of equity here. You haven't indicated postflop play. If either opponents are tricky, I could justify a call but as a default I raise.

I definitely bet the flop if I raise preflop. I probably bet the flop as you played it even without a club. I'm not sure it's the best but you'll take the hand when neither player has a spade. Pot is small, take a stab.

Turn is good.

I would absolutely call the river raise. Couldn't he have a worse ace in this spot pretty easily?
