I only have around 100 hands on villain, but is donkish at 50/29/1.7 but only WTSD = 29%.

The hand starts out standard with an isolation / value re-raise, but starts to get awkward after villain calls my flop c-bet. The board gets worse when a str8 and flush card comes in on the turn.

I'm already aware that my turn call is a bit of a spew, but am more interested in general when do you slow down when you're representing a big pair and are getting called down? If the turn was a blank would you double barrel?

As played I would fold the turn. I know it is a small bet but you have no idea how hard the flop hit him. This could be his way of value betting to ensure a call. A big part of why I would 3 bet AQ from the blinds is for information on the hand, because I am out of position. He has told you 3x he has a hand.

I think he is too loose to double barrel. Maybe I am wrong but unless I have seen him lay down a couple of turns I don't double barrel a LP with air.

Fold you have Ace high and at _best_ 6 outs, could be drawing dead. Don't throw away 20bb's.
