Think my flop sizing is way too small, is it too thin to go for rest of stack on river?

I don't mind an overbet (not full jam though, we have like 2x pot left and that's a bit insane) to try and turn a queen or weaker ace into a bluffcatch. We rep missed spades and the ten connects the board in a pseudo-scary way where its hard for us to have a lot of value and makes it look suspicious. However, I'm not sure if it's more profitable at these stakes than just putting in a value bet of a little over half pot.

It's a little less then half pot effective on the river

Btn only has a little under $1 left. I think im shoving. You cant exactly x/f now and if youre x/c any bet you might as well shove and get value from the portion of Vs range that checks back.

Edit: changed my mind actually: the portion of Vs range were targeting is too narrow. I say x river and let him bluff his spades.

Ah, didn't pay attention. My bad, in that case we I think there's enough value and not many bluff missed spades here with half pot left IMO
