I'm not really interested in specifics as much as what line is best when you are ahead of his range but the board goes holy hell bad. I hate checking the river because you induce so much putting yourself in a real shitty spot. I don't like betting river since it is committing. I don't feel the turn can be checked either for defense & even some value vs this villain.
I didn't like betting more(which may be the preferred solution to avoid shitty spots) against this villain because I thought 1/2 flop would get calls from worse hands. I also don't want to unbalance my lines, but I am reevaluating the value of 1/2 cbets in 3bet pots in less than 100NL games anyway. I am beginning to think 1/2 cbets are only for deeper stacks and I should 3bet bigger, cbet 2/3, shove turn in micro stakes, but that is probably another discussion.

In case you feel compelled that you have to have it here is a read on specific villain: Loose(VPIP 33%ish), bad & somewhat aggro. He called a 3bet OOP earlier with A5o then c/c Q74s flop & CRAI turned NFD.

This is kind of similar to griffey's KQ thread, but unlike his hand I think this spot is fine for a c/fold. At these stakes you don't need to try to balance as much because people aren't hero-calling 88 here nor are they going to turn a made hand into a bluff on the river as much, so we can expect to check and win vs 88/99/a7 and lose the min vs his floats that hit and his rarely slowplayed flush.
Family Cruise IMO

Even against someone "bad and somewhat aggro?". Im always hesitent to try it against semi-thinking, fearless bullies since it looks so weak.

i think the turn bet is good, and i think you have to fold the river because he is more likely to check behind all the hands you beat. its hard for him to get to the river with air where he would have to bluff you
