OK so standard situation here. Anyways im still learning blinds def and usually avoid playing weak aces. Once i get called preflop here, should i cbet? This flop just fit so much of his calling range. Only hands he's folding are 22-99 pocket pairs probably. Mistake on cbetting aside, what do you think about rest of the hand? I checked back the Ace for pot control, and since i had showdown value I hoped he checks the river.

you completely missed and the board isn't actually bad for villain, so this is a flop check.
turn seems close, check is fine but i prefer a small bet/fold because there's some value and river play is going to suck if he bets, people aren't going to exploit us with light check/raises. river is whatever, you "must" call, but of course he can have a lot of better hands here.

I prefer to check-fold OTF. Board is not the best.
Turn is a breeze. Could go for a bet (and I completely agree with Tomaloc about the light check-raises) just to avoid a difficult decision OTR.
As played, calling the river is pretty fine imo. You could be beaten, but you're getting a good price with TP.

If you're not used to these situations you can also flat pre you know =)
Flop you're betting too much, it's more of a check but if you bet make it half pot.
River his sizing is value heavy, I don't see regs bluff stabing rivers in 3bet pots at NL5 anyway so it's possible to fold. He should know you have SDV and shouldn't expect you to fold it easily.
