SB mucked and won 1,016 (535 net)
Hero mucked A♣: J♣: and lost (-481 net)

Only 7 hands for opponent 57/0 / AG 0.5

He looks like a calling station regardless of the small sample.

Ace with weak kicker won't shove the turn like this, so I think I'm behind and early stage of the tournament I think this is a correct fold. Thoughts?

I don't like sizing of my C-bet - should've bet 3/4 of the pot on this texture to punish Flush Draws and extract value from KQ , JQ, QT, Q9 , 67 and other draws, mid pair etc

I cbet either 2/3 or 1/3 both are valid option. On the turn I get it in if I think he can go broke with worse.

Sizing could be more against a loose passive player on flop, but as played I would let it go on the turn. I don't expect he will shove with worse.
