Default 2-1 Maximizing value on the turn

This hand is vs a good thinking some what loose aggressive player that I don't have that much history with.

The question is how do you like to extract value from your opponents with a hand like this on the turn. Our flop c-bet is protecting the strength of our hand to a degree but the turn bet will certainly set off some alarm bells in his head that I'm not just betting ace high any more and he better have a good hand if he wants to continue.

Who bets who checks, would you ever play this hand differently depending on what type of player villan is, whats you plan for the river if you check and the board paired and he bet into you.

It's player dependent, but I'm leaning towards sticking another smallish bet in (~$30, maybe less). If you know he's real aggro or have high river AF stats on him I'm checking behind to get him to fire river. He could figure you for c-betting w/ nada thus seeing a good spot to steal.

bet small like 20-25ish for several reasons:
1) let him think he has some fold equtiy. maybe a random pair plus heart will try to shove on you
2) lots of mid pairs will still call a weak bet, with or w/o a heart
3) he might still try to draw to a strt with like 56s, A6s etc
4) if hes a donk with a set/straight/2 pair, hes likely getting it all in anyway, so might as well maximize vs the rest of his range
