Good question. Well, I'm not actually sure if you're asking because you think I should value bet or bluff the river. As for value betting, I don't expect him to call with much worse than KQ very often here, if ever. QJ is the best of the very few hands he could potentially get to the river that are capable of even trying to make a hero call, but even if he has QJ he's most likely folding.
While spades and aces aren't really in his range, I could have been putting a standard cbet on the flop, backed into spades on the turn for a double barrel, or he could put me on AK because I raised pre (lol). Whether he's thinking any of this who knows, but mainly yea, the "best" hand I could get value from is QJ and I just don't see him calling with that.
Turning my hand into a bluff to try to fold out specifically Acxc hands is way too narrow of a range to be profitable. Also I doubt he even folds those (remember, recreational players REALLY hate folding) although he definitely should vs. my river betting range here.
