Im no great player but in that circumstance its a tough one, very player dependent...
I guess the main question is around the turn.. Do you think he has you when he reraises or not? I suppose if I thought he didnt have the two spades I would shove him or I would fold if i thought he did.
reasoning:
he has two spades; then he has me beat right now, but i know you are getting 5:1 pot odds for the river call, if you improve you probably have him beat, but you are >6:1 to hit
he has one spade; then you are ahead most likely with 5:1 PO, and a bit over 5:1 on cards, probably ahead of him with only K/A available
I think a lot of agg players would raise like this with the turn card if they have a single spade, if you shove him and he has the spade he probably doesn't fold unless it is very low
Or I may be talking bollux
Here ID awlays RERAISE turn ALLIN.
Reraising the turn is fine BUT this is like the only river card I really dislike to see. I wouldn't mind getting it all in on any card except a non suited ace (So I guess there are 2-3 cards you don't want to see).
Thanks for the answers guys, helped me a lot :)

on the original question: would i call the river?
I think the answer is probably not, and i would be peeved lol
