($16) AA on paired board
 

Villain is 38/14/0.75 over 35 hands. Seems to be playing quite loose. I checked flop to control pot and also to let him potentially hit something on the turn. Then I checked the turn just because I felt like it. Advice anywhere...

Then I guess you knew where you went wrong?

Meh ya. I didn't feel like getting raised, though I suppose he only does it with a Q ball. So flop check/check, turn bet/fold is your line? What do you think about betting the flop?

Probably bet the flop too, he looks like he has station stats, and you have a really good hand. Dont be afraid of the queen, If he had it then fine whatever, I'm more worried about him having the flush, and you letting him get there.

Bet/call flop? I feel awful stacking off 30 bbs to an idiot here but maybe it's best...

the villain you described at this buy in is not stacking off with just a queen here. especially after you decide to check the flop, the turn is a must bet/call.
