Not sure what your plan was during the hand and without villain info it's really tough to bluff the river.
Off course with the A♠: you have a blocker to all his flushes and it's easier for you te represent a flush.

I wanted to float flop, then bet any broadway card or flush completion on turn if he checks or fold to his turn bet. I just think that villain will c-bet with the vast majority of his range here. If he were to call my turn bet I would not be 100% sure what to do on river though, likely check behind. I think though unless he hits the turn broadway he has to give up a lot of his range as if he has QQ,KK,AA he would bet out on the turn again.

As the turn was a low card I don't think I can get him to fold a pocket pair with a bet, and he may as well have Ax here or a suited connector and my hand is still good

On the river the bluff bet was a bit trickier to do as FE is less I think.

Dragar, if villain is a reg he won't cbet the vast majority of his range here.
Flop float is tricky vs that cbet size. He should be careful when betting that board OOP and he probably knows it because he used a 2/3 size instead of 1/3 or 1/4. I don't mind it though.
Turn is a good card for your range. I understand the check with your strong A high though, you also have better hands to bet with (hands with less sdv and more equity).
River is one of the best cards for villain's range and he checks. You shouldn't have loads of Kx floats OTF, so if you decided to bet here you have to go polarized (big size, even overbet) I think. You also did check turn back which should impact your river size.
It will be a mix of betting and checking I guess. Attack mid-pairs is good as they still beat you. You block AK and KQ combos which is relevant. You block the nuts too. On the other hand, you still have sdv.
I believe he'll be capped more often that not, so I lean towards betting.
I don't expect to be check/raised often at NL10.
