to f*@#!*ing passive? NL50

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (5 Players) BN: $53.69
SB: $57.66
BB: $55.93
UTG: $50.45
CO: $50.00 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is CO with A K
UTG calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.00, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.50
Flop ($4.75) 5 Q J
UTG checks, Hero bets $2.50, UTG calls $2.50
Turn ($9.75) 5 Q J 3
UTG checks, Hero checks
River ($9.75) 5 Q J 3 2
UTG bets $1.50, Hero raises to $9.71, UTG calls $8.21

villain is a passive fish 45/2 after 50hands.
So, my thinking process:
1. I CB this board to fold his random air and get thin value from weaker Ax, GS etc.
2. Turn is kind of complicated for me. I've got awesome draw, but I cannot valuebet and I think I dont have any feq on this particular card, so I decided XB - isn't it too weak? The problem is that I probably have to barrel 3 times to fold his Jx hands - I hate tripple barreling vs fishes with bluffs.

You only really check down ahead of a hand like AT after betting 1/2 pot OTF. I don't think you have a lot of FEQ OTT but with all those nut and non-nutted outs I think you should just bet turn and hope to hit. You have 18 outs against a hand like QT and 15 against AQ and KQ! Main concern is if you get jammed on often and is committed to call it off, but I don't think that happens often enough to worry about.

Edit: maybe you can check down vs some AdXd hands but when you hit the FD OTT I think you just have too many ways to improve to check down.

It's a tough one and I think I'd just barrel with my equity OTT and check back river unimproved. I don't think there is much fold equity OTT either but with so much equity against even 2pair+ I just bet it as long as I think villain doesn't XR AI 20%+ or something like that.

Edit: SPR is large enough to not worry about an all in XR so I'd always bet this one.

Don't see anything bad with your line vs fish.
And totally agree with :

I hate triple barreling vs fishes with bluffs

If river was not in your favor you would have to fold vs his 88 - Jx or Q9, because he is never folding.

Hey, I think you've got such a monster hand on the turn that you want the pot to swell, + given the fact that you're facing a passive fish you've still got some showdown value because he has got a ton of draws here that he won't be able to bluff OTR. definitely a bet around 3/4 pot OTT Imo.
