Going broke with 1 pair

Villain here seemed loose and aggressive, but didn't have enough hands on him for a real read.

Coming from limit, I have a real problem laying hands like this one down. Normally I'll fold TPTK if villain keeps firing, but here the villain seemed aggressive enough that he could be on a flush draw. However, even if that were the case with the flop c/r, I suppose I need to scratch that thought when he fires again on the turn, no?

Once I get to the river, I think I sucked out on enough A9, A4, or 94 hands to call getting about 3.5:1.

So, call flop, fold turn, call river?

How does my pf raise look? I am really beginning to hate AK, and I've been trying to keep my raises with it fairly small to avoid playing in bit pots (obviously doesn't work though, does it?)
