Raise the flop. Donk leads on boards like these are usually weak from fish. And we can always check back the turn if we miss.

Raise the flop to something like .50. You block spade draws that are not giving up to a raise, and we can check behind on turn IP if we miss. On this board texture I don't expect to get shoved on or 3-bet very often so raising a lot better than flatting. Also disguises our hand if the flush comes. On a super wet/connected board though I'm always flatting IP or OOP here.

As played just flat river. I expect to see a flush/boat here almost always from these type of fishy players. His range is pretty strong for donking out, check-calling a PSB when the flush fills, and donking PSB OTR. When people donk out PSB OTR and have shown strength OTF/OTT, they usually do that in a last attempt to get value and don't want you to check behind.

Not too many worse hands are going to call our shove/raise here. Maybe 8/9/10 high flushes, but even those fold if Villain is somewhat competent. As played, flat river but we probably shouldn't be too happy about it. This line is almost never a bluff.
