Granted my flop call isn’t the greatest, but I think most of his bluffing range is just giving up pretty much any turn, so I’m not too worried about getting bluffed out when I’m ahead.

“most of his bluffing range is just giving up pretty much any turn”
Not following this. What if a low spade hits on the turn and the villain leads out? You call the turn.
BTW, I just stumbled on your blog and I think its great. Esp the WSOP trip reports.
I’m an amateur-weekend type of player. So, this is good insight for me. appreciate it.
It’s possible that he’d keep bluffing a spade. In fact, if he’s really good (he is a really good tournament player, but I’m not sure that translates into being an expert multi-barrel bluffer), he’d be check-raising this flop at least as often with back-door spades as with four-to-a-flush. I would definitely be giving up if he bet any card but this one, but I think he probably doesn’t fire multiple barrels except maybe on a spade.
In other words, on about 75% of turns, I expect him to give up his bluffs. Thus, if he does keep betting, I’m comfortable folding. Does that make more sense?
