25NL AK tricky spot on a suited board

[Semtex]

Against any normal opponent I would give this hand up on the turn and maybe even the flop. This guy was a 30/20 lagtard that I had no clue how to handle this hand against. Could I have played this better? I hate the spot I'm in after the flop. He could have almost anything.

I would check call the turn and fold the river. If he didn't already have the flush you can bet he hit his straight. He probably had queen of hearts and some low card and was chasing with that.

Assuming he doesn't have abnormal aggression factor. If he does then I would call the river.

Villain has less than 1/3 the pot after turn bet. You are getting 4.5 to 1 on river. I think you have to make up your mind on turn. Either c/f or lead shove....and I hate lead shove. I'm done with this hand after he calls my flop bet.

I'm also done after the flop. You beat nothing after the turn besides AQ which hopefully doesn't have Qh. I'm folding turn the call on the river is bad considering you only beat an awful bluff.

Flop play is nice. I check/fold the Turn. If you decide to call the Turn, you should then call the blank River as you did here.
