Default ATs Line Check

I've been running into problems hitting top pair with AT. I think I played this hand correctly, but please let me know if I didn't.

Table: 4/8 Live FR. Table had been pretty loose/passive.
Villain (button): Young guy who just sat down.
Me: AT of diamonds in the big blind.

Preflop:
5 callers, I raise, all call.

Flop (11 sb): A Q rag, 2 hearts.
I bet. Only the villain calls.

Turn (6.5 bb): rag
I bet, villain calls.

River (8.5 bb): A, not a heart
I bet, villain raises, I call.

By the way, thanks everybody for your advice on all the hands I post. You have all been a great help.

Looks good to me absent any read of the villian.

I think your preflop raise from BB is good with your high suited cards. I would check with ATo, and with A9s.

I think you should bet flop, turn, and river. In my internet games I'd sometimes reraise this river depending on the villain. Against an unknown live player calling seems okay.

3bet. He thinks his queen is good since the board paired. The rest is goot.

with 5 limpers(unless they are absolutely horrible) i would probably raise A5s+.

I'd probably 3bet but I really don't give him a Queen? My guess is he has a raggy ace and thinks his trips are good, which they are not.

The thing is, most players in this game are so passive I have trouble putting him on the raggy ace. Most players are afraid of getting out-kicked, and it is very rare to see a raise on the river. I might expect that kind of play from a player waiting for a seat at a higher table, but I didn't know that about this player.

I guess the reason I'm dwelling on this hand is I still can't figure out what this guy was thinking at any point.

3 bet river, there is a chance he puts you on the busted flush draw, so thinks his PP is good.
