hey all first post and just wondering if i played bad, playing 5 handed at the local casino

history with villian:
in a limped pot where all players saw action i found myself on button with a5ss. eff. stack 100$, villian covers and is utg+1. flop was 393ss. checked around turn 10s villian bets 6 into 10 i called everyone else folds. river is a 7c. villian bets 11 into 22$ pot i raise to 45 and get a called and win. villian mentions he found it hard to believe i rr so low with the "nuts".

few notes before we get onto the hand:
i am 60 hands into the session and have a flop seen of 4 of 60, one against villian, another in bb where i c/f. I believe i am coming of as a nit but was more card dead than anything
I see villian as a little tilted but keeps his cool after flopping full house and being beat by a bigger boat on the turn
have not seen him get out of line and believe he is a pretty straight forward player

onto hand: hero:155$ villian covers
folded around to villian otb who raises to 7. I am in sb with a3cc and believe given my low activity a 3! can take down pot and raise to 24 and he calls.
flop kc6cqd
i check to villian believing he could very well have hit the flop and i could raise him off.
villian bets 15 and i raise to 75 (i have an awkward stack and do not know best way to raise, maybe just shove?, suggestions?) villian calls very apparent he is not happy about it
turn 8d and i shove my remaining 51$ into 190 (horrible i know, suggestions welcome) he calls with k7dd and river completes his flush for the win

couple questions about this line:
PF what hands does it look like im repping? I believe given my no 3! history of the night that it would be qq kk aa or ak suited
otf does my hand strength appearance diminish by a c/r line? obviously a check behind would not be the end of the world for me
my rr size sucks because of my stack size, would a shove otf be a better line??
turn is absolutely horrible also but i do not see what other play i have

really any suggestions,feedback, critisim is helpful thanks

Preflop is pointless. You are risking $24 to win $10 minus rake. It's even worse that you have only played 4 hands out of the last 60 and this is the hand that you felt was a good spot to invest your money.

Post flop, just bet your hand rather than getting tricky. If you had check/raise shoved it would look more like a flush draw than a monster. Min-raising flop and shoving most turns would have probably been better given stack sizes but as played turn shove is ok.

You villain appears rather stationary. He called a 3 bet preflop with K7s and called a flop check/raise with top pair bad kicker. Given his history of calling a river raise on a flush and paired board, it looks like this should have been fairly obvious. This is not the sort of player you want to try to push off a hand.

Preflop, your representing something like AQ+/JJ+. On the flop, normally either bet into villain or check/shove given stack sizes. Given villain's play, he is probably calling either way though. Turn is actually the right move at that point, your risking $51 to win $241 if villain calls, so your getting the straight odds to chase your flush even without any FE.

Welcome to 2+2!

Not a good spot to 3b b/c you are out of position.

Your 3b range crushes this flop, so you need to bet. After committing ~ 35% of stack you'll need to evaluate shoving turn, that is, do you have FE besides your actual equity?

GL.
