Actually no. He had A4s, which didn't surprise me. They were spades, which did.
He actually called the first bet with just an overcard and three cards to a flush. Basically from that flop he needed two running spades or two fours to beat me.

I accept that I didn't give him as bad odds as I should have with my bet (although his odds were just awful, as it happens). Perhaps I should have taken it easier with such a band hand, but after he just called my bet on the flop I was fairly confident I had a better hand.

I felt I only had to worry about a flush or straight hitting; but unfortunately I was worried about clubs, not spades!
