So what i wanted discuss is our decision on seperate ugly river for us (I assume my line on previous street was quite good, opposite opinions are welcome), the opponent is regular, who is not playing back too much, however is a decent thinking player. It's quite easy to play the river if it blanks, pairs up or we hit a spade, however on what ugly cards we can actually check call the river bet (leading small & calling/folding is also an option of course) from opponent assuming he is putting us on a set or Ahigh flush combo, which we basically represent. The rivers, which i would like to discuss are K,Q,T,9,7,6,4.
My personal opinion is that it is most likely that 7 & Q are the worst cards in the deck and i am leaning towards chech/folding on those cards as we have As in our hand it's even more likely that his combo consists T9, but what if didn't have As? 4 is a check call in my opinion, as most combos consisting 76 he is folding on the turn. Looking forward to your replies.

Accordingly I would check every river you listed. I agree I would c/f 7o and Qo. The other wrap completing rivers you just have to c/decide based on whether you think he will bluff too often or too little.
As an aside, on non wrap completing spades I would c/r allowing him to bluff missed wraps and to maximize FE vs lower flushes. I think you can credibly rep the NF and get his wrap+FD hands to fold river.
On wrap completing spades I would bet to fold out str8s which would just check back river.
Ex. On the spades that complete the wrap the wrap he feels like having QsTs9s7s i would prob just pott it since he is going to checkback his str8 there. On the low spades i would c/r giving him a chance to bluff his missed wraps and b/f (hopefully) his flushes.
When it comes to clearcut VBs i would prob b/decide a K,6,4, bet the obv 8,5,3,2 but on a J i would go for a c/r. Feels like this is a spot where we will get to the river with alot of Axxx spade hands and we are forced to check on a J, if he betts i def wanna be able to c/r bluff here when it fits. Kind of feels like a spot where he has many jacks!
