given the flop texture...i would protected my hand with a bigger flop bet giving him horrible odds on a flush draw, even though the looseness of the villian might have still led him to call anyway...but still any heart or another A on the board slows me way down, so I want to at least force this loose player to pay more to see the turn.

Once the turn comes...I think his bet is way too weak. Even if he is trying to value bet/slow play his flush, he would have to be pretty dumb to bet this small. your raise suggests you had at least a pair at the flop. he doesn't even have the nut flush. so he actually gave you the correct odds to call and try to fill up or catch a higher flush. loose players are usually hyper aware of the potential for being drawn out on (because they try to draw out so much) so i just don't see how you don't step on the gas and raise the turn (and your nut flush draw) assuming he is way too weak. SB should have either folded OR been all-in prior to seeing the river.
