What now?
Ok.... Now I know I'm going to get a lot of people say 'why play the hand?' 'Why are you calling a 3 bet OOP'.
Villain had been 3 betting almost every single one of my raises. Yes I could 4 bet.... but really I know what flop im looking for with 64s. Flush or the straight or possible two pair... im not getting sucked in by a single pair so I don't think theres much wrong with calling pre.
Anyway - no comments on that please as thats not what I want advice on.
I raise the flop into my draw and hit on the turn.... then the river brings the 4th spade.
What now? I've repped a monster. Do I barrel again? Do I Check/Fold knowing that villain could easily bluff me off the pot?
Notes on villain include - Cant seem to fold a PP unless an Ace comes out. Will peel an extra card for a draw with dirty outs. Will call worse on the river.

Is the villain's 3/4 pot flop sizing standard from him? Does it tell us anything?
On the river I don't think we're value-betting if we bet unless we think he's going to hero us with an 8 or Queen a lot. That seems unlikely. How many weak'ish spades does he call the turn with intending to fold to a river bet? Not many, you'd think, so a bluff probably accomplishes nothing.
So it's probably a spot to check-call or check-fold and it looks like a check-fold spot to me. We have to think he's either floating the flop and turn, just to rep a big spade on the river, or that he's turning his made hand into a bluff a lot of the time to check-call.
It would be nice of him to check back and it depends on the size of his bet whether we beat enough of his range or not to bluff-catch. Looks a check-fold spot to me, though.
