I dont think you've hit the straight because most people wont bet 1/3 pot if you flopped it especially with 2 to the flush it would either be a pot sized bet to take it down right there, or a check in hopes of the turn missing the flush and slowplaying your straight hoping to trap someone later. When the person in front of me calls your dollar that leaves what, 4 dollars in the pot and costs me 1 dollar to see the turn card. so for 1 dollar all i need to be sure of is that 25% of the time i've got you beat, if you'd make the same bet on a straight draw, a flush draw, or 2 overcards theres no way I cant call that bet and at least take a card off.
The turn brings my 2nd 7, but also hits the flush, no help to the straight and no help to your overcards. You make another weak bet at the turn and I reraise you to see what exactly you might have if you've hit the flush then i'm expecting you to push right there and its easy to lay my hand down. You just call so the flush is no longer a threat to my hand and i'm feeling pretty good that you've either got a straight draw or still clinging to your overcards, the top pair still isnt something i'm considering, especially since i've got it dominated right now. The river brings the Ace and even though i'm not liking seeing the 4th spade hit the board what i'm really thinking about is the straight never came and if he's on overcards he just hit and i hope he bets into me. Since overcards were one of the hands I had you on and seeing the ace of spades hit i'm more likely to think you were playing suited overcards as hard as you were. Even though you werent suited you had top pair with top kicker and that accounts for why you have stayed in so far, but i wouldnt have thought of that with the preflop and weak flop action. When you go all in with 4 spades on the board i'm calling you but not feeling great about it but still pretty sure that i've got the hand won.
Impressive. Almost exactly how I'm playing this. My only catch is being wary with 4 spades on the board, especially with a reraise after the 3rd one came down on the turn. You could also consider putting him on high cards, one of them being a spade. The worse the player is the more he chases IME.

The hand was probably too hard for the guy to lay down, I would have folded to your AI push because it was a good move and the chances of you holding a spade.
