I would 3bet and GII as he might holding a weaker A or on a flush draw.

I would have only c-bet about 420 or so.
FD's are less likely than usual since the As is on the board and you hold the Ks.
The min-raise is also what fish love to do when they have it. Flat and see what he does on the turn.

Never folding here. I'd probably 3 bet on the flop because even if he isn't flushing a spade on the turn will let villain blow us off the hand

I like the flop C-Bet size. I probably 3-b flop and get it in since we're OOP and calling-donking or calling-checking each can have worse things happen to us like free cards.
As played, probably bet out turn. If he has an A he will prob think he's chopping at worst, so get your stack in on the last 2 streets

48 hours without comment so I will post results.
I actually shoved on the flop. Snap called by Kh8h. Looking back I should be more cautious andcall down, the min raise should have set off more alarm bells. and even after hitting the K on the turn, with the flush draw gone I'd probably fold to a shove or pot sized bet.
