Villian is a very aggressive button player and normally folds to 3bets. I'm not sure if I like my turn c/c here, but I thought I was going to let him bluff at it, so that makes the river an auto c/c?

as played (awful imho)... your hand only beats bluffs and AK, KQ. Fold and put some stats next to villain.

TBH I feel that this hand was played poorly from start to finish. First I would 3bet bigger like 9. You are giving good odds to call IP imo. As played on flop I am betting much bigger again like 12. It is very hard for villain to have anything here and if he does have a pair or is planning on floating you he will call anyway. Now even if you check to villain and he bets, it will be much bigger and you can jam. If he had air he is folding anyway and if he has a K he may feel priced in and call or call thinking you may be trying to push him off with a combo draw like QdTd.

Though I think taking a bet bet line is probably optimal unless you are confident that he will bet if checked to because so many cards are either going to kill your action or counterfeit your hand. If you bet and he folds, he didn't have anything that you were going to make any money from anyway and you don't let him take free cards but more importantly you get value from draws and a K.

Overall I feel that the biggest issue here is bet sizing. I don't think you thought it out and kinda got caught in an awkward spot.
