Fun, loose table.

Villain ($400) is a 30 year old mixed race guy with thick black glasses who has misread the board a few times in hands he hasn't been in. Loose passive both pre and post. He has tapped the glass a few times at a large donator, trying to seem like he's a poker expert.
Hero ($250) tight image. Played one hand with villain. Hero called button raise from SB with 2 medium clubs from the blind. Villain called with J5cc from MP. We both flopped a flush. Hero bet, V flatted. Turn brought 4th club and went check/check. Hero c/f river and V showed. Villain told hero he misplayed the hand by not taking advantage of the 4th club and betting big. Hero thankful villain didn't raise the flop ☺️

The hand.

Pre-flop
UTG straddle
EP limp
Villain limps in MP
Hero raises to $35 on the button with A♣️ K ♦️
Whale cold calls in SB
Straddle calls
EP limper folds
Villain tank calls.

(based on his prior play, I'm weighting villains range heavily towards PPs with suited broadway cards.......possibly a small % of suited connectors and Axs mixed in.)

Flop
($137)
Q♦️ T ♥️ 3 ♠️
Checks to hero who bets $35
SB + straddle fold
Villain calls

(Should have bet more on the flop. I was trying to deny equity to PPs and keep control of the hand)

Turn
($207)
6 ♣️
Villain checks
Hero bets $100
Villain raises all-in
Hero folds

(I thought I could fold out anything he had except two pairs and sets. After his shove, I only had $80 behind. I figured only a jack on the river was good and I wasn't getting odds to call).

I'm thinking I could have taken two different paths:
1. Bet more on the flop. Shove turn.
2. Give up on the hand after the c-bet failed

Thoughts?

we can generally bet a bit bigger but i don't know how that much matters in this spot. i don't look at the turn as giving up if you fold, but i don't think the 6 makes sense to bet there. the villain seems to be putting you on something like you have and also the board hits the range you give him here. so when he calls the flop and the turn is a 6 i don't think you are gonna get him to fold as the texture of the board hasn't changed so he could just keep calling his Qx type hands nevermind his shoving range

Postflop is spew against this lineup. They’re too loose and passive, take the free card on the flop. And if you don’t, take it on the turn.

You have a decent equity draw, getting CRed would be a disaster as you have to fold out your equity.
