78s is a mix strategy for me - sometimes I call/sometimes I 3B. I use to just coldcall mid suited connector because I was affraid I am gonna mess up postflop.

My thinking - OTF I want to bet - I have a valuebet against FD's/wheeldraw/Overcards with a spade + I need aprotection. But the hand is not superstrong so I think I should bet small. I bet 1/2 pot but I think 1/3 would be better.
OTT No idea what to do OTT. I think check/calling is not an option given how many draws he can have and I do not want to give him free card. I definitely do not have 3 streetr of value. I also do not want to bet big. Is betting small good idea? But if I bet twice and river is a brick can I bluffcatch?

I think the flop and turn are o'k your hand is vulnerable so you don't want villain to float to wide with hands that have very good equity.It's hard to say about bluff catching the river without reads i guess you need to go on player pool tendencies.But maybe check calling the turn is o'k here as flush draws do make up the smaller part of villains range.While TT-99 AJ KJ can all be in villains range even QJ TJ have some back door straight draw potential with overs.And with a spade they have back door flush draws and potential turn bluffing opportunities. So those hands aren't beyond the realms of floating either
