 Villain was loose passive 30/23/1.6 over 65 hands. His fold to c bet was 0% fwiw.

This may be standard, but something just felt horribly weak sauce about the way I played this. Any thoughts?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.20 BB (5 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG ($21.33)
MP ($3.46)
Button ($20.10)
SB ($19.94)
Hero (BB) ($25.24)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q
UTG bets $0.60, 1 fold, Button calls $0.60, 1 fold, Hero raises $2.45, UTG calls $2.05, Button calls $2.05

Flop: ($8.05) 2, 3, J (3 players)
Hero bets $6.80, UTG calls $6.80, 1 fold

Turn: ($21.65) A (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: ($21.65) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $11.88 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $21.65

I generally just start open shoving flops when SPR gets close to 2.

I like it here because we don't want the following cards to come on the turn:
a spade
an ace
a king (we don't mind it as much)

That looks like a tough spot.

30/23 is more Loose Aggressive, than passive... IMHO

About the only thing I can maybe suggest is to bet a little less on the flop, I'm more than willing to get all the money in on this flop if played back on, but the cold call is a huge brick wall for me.

The turn card sucks donkey balls. His flop call suggests a naked A at a minimum, so check/folding river seems like the only thing we can do, sucks, but I can't see many villians bluffing that river without at least AJ+

Yuck.
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

Hmm, that's an interesting line also that I don't mind. How often would you be called by worse though?

 Yeah I guess he was more LAG preflop, deifintely passive post flop though from what I saw.

Say we just shove this flop though I think we only get called by sets flushes KK, AA, AK, AQ, AJ with a spade.

Since we're overbetting the pot and our equity sucks when called, I'm not sure how profitable that would be. At least when the pot sized flop bet is called we have the option to jam safe turns as our equity increases vs the callers range or shutdown on spade and ace turns where it gets killed.
