The Queen is a poor card for our hand, but the SPR is too low to fold. We are priced in to see a river against a range that still contains many spade draws and smaller pairs.
Checking back is the only play. The river completes the flush and several straights, turning our hand into a pure bluff-catcher that cannot extract value from worse.
