1 small thing preflop I think the 4bet is kinda small being OOP, I would make it around 18-20 or maybe even bigger to make it less likely that button calls.

When UTG cold calls I think his range is super strong here. I wouldn't be surprised if he slowplays hands like AA/KK relatively often if he's aware of the same dynamic you are (BTN being an active 3bettor and you're adjusting by widening 4bet range)

Flop and turn I like and I would probably also go for value on the river especially given that we block the nut flush. When he raises I think his most likely hands are sets and it's hard to see bluffs other than JJ/TT with a spade.

One thing I just thought of straight after I posted is given how strong UTG's range is should we be value betting river? What hands are we getting called by that we beat? I think the ace is a deceptive card as it improves our absolute hand strength but our relative hand strength remains the same. We're still behind AA/KK/AK/QQ and it's hard to see JJ/TT calling here so despite what I said above I think that river should be a check and probably a fold.

Ingame i thought also which hands could he call with - i didnt found that many, but check-folding with this holding looks pretty ugly.

thats why i picked the low sizing. to get some herocalls.
