villain is obviously unknown. my first asumption is he's a fish not a full stack+limpingx5nl=fish

firstly do you call here vs unknowns?

2nd turn action, I thought bet/fold small to get worse Jacks 9s and other non beleivers to call, A spades is snapping this off as is Q and the 10 spades too which is fine, I dont want to give a free card to a random low spade that wouldve folded if I bet. I expect Kx boats and flushes all to raise some of the time and sometimes slowplay.
river changes nothing bar giving a non beleiver 22 a boat. expecting all his Kx flushes and boats to raise is this a profitable B/F. I was also asuming that he wont ever bluff on this board. I hope someones gonna show me some good old maths and tell me what I should be thinking.
I have a range for villain that I can post later

 pre is pretty snap flat w/ 2 very likely weak players behind

postflop looks fine BUT i might go 40c on turn cause I don't think Jx or a good spade is folding anyway, dunno what math you want to see here??? if you're >50% v his calling/raising range and he never bluff raises it's a bet. if you aren't then it isn't.

55 44 favourite what does that look like too loose?

I assume he's never bluff raising cos I'm never calling a raise here without more info is this logical or does the even slight chance that he might bluff make b/f this -ev

 usually at 5 nl players are pretty straight forward on this board by the river. your question didn't come with villain stats but i'm always betting the river here eventhough your hand looks pretty face up i wouldn't be shocked to see him call with a worse jack and all kinds of other crap depending on how bad he is. so yeah just b/f as a standard here , especially vs an unknown since well most 5nl players are crap and his preflop raise looks rlly weak after 2 limpers just raising 2 x is pretty lol
