They're so often really bad and donate their moneys but I never can play optimally against them because they are idiots that put in 1/3 of their stack preflop but can still fold flop.

I'm sure I played this awful but what would be a better line?

I think this is fine. Only other thing I can think to do is maybe push flop. He has nothing much more often than he has a pair of Q's or better.

If I read it right you put him all in on the turn bet right? I don't see a problem with this hand at all.

Yeah as it turned out I got in ahead vs. a flushdraw but I really felt confused rather than confident with this line and I never know fi I'm playing it right. I often feel like shoving here lets opponent play perfectly, calling with a queen and folding anything else.

Put him all in on the flop. He will call with a lot of hands you beat.

Don't worry, it's almost impossible to allow them to play perfectly when they've only got 1.5 x's the pot. They'll call with all sorts of stuff that you wouldn't believe.
