Too ambitious or good? I feel like this is a good combo, but at the same time I unblock spade draws that I would want to fold. However, would my opponent play a busted spade draw this way? I think not. My opponent was quite aggressive, so I checked back the turn so that I wouldn't get blown off my amazing equity.

The idea isn't too ambitious. I just don't know if shoving does all that much more than a r/f.
It's a bitch fold for like 30bbs or so when you have to do it, but it's not like you're turning something with equity into a bluff.
I kind of like a shove more if it was paired on the 5x or 6x instead of the 4x because we could have more trips but as played I think there is a chance he might fold his Ace due to this massive overbet. However, remember if he calls thats 2NL for you though.
