25NL - top pair facing triple barrel

I don't like to defend offsuit Aces any lower than A9o. I learned this from the Krantz Pr1nnyRaiding series 1 where they recommended that it is a trap hand for newer players to play out of position. What is your take on defending offsuit aces OOP?

I decide to float this flop. He only bets half pot and sometimes I even have the best hand.

I hit top pair planning to check call evaluate river or if he checks back lead the river for value.

River I guess is a standard spot. Both flush draws miss. Q is a strong card for him to 3 barrel trying to fold out some hands he thinks I have that got sticky on the turn. Or maybe he thinks I have some draws that missed he wants to bluff out?
He could also be value betting a stronger Ace than me, two pairs, etc. I think vs an unknown I will call in this spot with top pair medium kicker. I feel if he had a stronger two pair hand on the flop he would bet more than half pot so I think his range in this spot has lots of air and missed draws in it so I think I make a profitable call. Also, I try to get to showdown early on in the match so I can see get reads and try to figure out how they think early on.
Thanks!
