Hi,
Villain is 44/5 after 45 hands, at the time the hand took place I had much lower sample + no reads.

I doubt he has AQ here, some combos of 2p have hit and Q9.
Since this player looked like a fish I believe he has enough of FD and SD combos to make a call (or a shove) profitable.

However now that I put this through Flopzilla I see he can easily have 42 value combos here with only KQ that I have a draw against: 22,KQs-KTs,Q9s,JTs,KQo-KTo,Q9o,JTo

Against a fish I wouldn't mind to Cbet more than half pot for value and protection.
Turn would be a bet/fold spot. I don't think a passive villain will check/shove as bluff to often.
Off course villain is raising, but with 26c more behind it's basicly a shove.

Cheers,

I think turn should be a fold indeed.
Villain looks passive, and overbet is huge. Your TP is rarely going to be good. And you have nowhere near the outs for a call to make the straight.

Make your flop betting size bigger. Like you said in your title - it's a scary board. More often than not you have the best hand here. Bet for protection and value. Turn is probably a fold.
