Default QQ OOP, When should I hit the brakes?

No real reads, Villian plays a slightly too loose.
When the flush comes, should I because he most likely has an ace or just made is flush?
Is he calling with an ace or two pair enough that I should even be value betting my set?

100nl 6max
Button - ($81.95)
Hero UTG - ($98.50)

SB - Posts small blind $0.50
BB - Posts big blind $1

why did you bet the turn? I don't see what this bet accomplishes, and getting raised here would be really bad.

Flop:

If the button and small blind where pretty tight preflop, I would probably check-fold the flop. If it checks around on the flop, than bet out the turn.

But you say that the button was slightly too loose. So a bet is fine too. Even if they are tight it is ok too.

Turn:

Ok, button has called with position but with the sb yet to act too. The ace is out there. So likely calling hands are an ace, flush draw (a little more unlikely than usual since the ace is out and suited aces are not possible flush draws, but since he is slightly loose maybe he called /w suited connectors), set, maybe middle pair depending on the player.

I think I would check fold at this point. You want him to check behind. Unless you knew he floats a lot or some other read like that.

River:
Value bet here is fine. You may get calls from ak, 2 pair, and lower sets. You lose to the flush and straight and aaa. Straight is backdoor. So you only have to worry about those suited heart connectors kq-98 &amp; 65-23 hearts and aa. Bet looks fine, calling the raise looks good.

Come to a screaming halt on the turn. He called the flop with either a flush draw or an ace a vast majority of the time.
