Nothing you can do there, that is a horrible flop call by villian, but more importantly he just gave you THREE key notes on his play, so the loss isn't totally in vain:

#1: he'll make a really bad sheriff call on the flop with Ace high (so probably will call down very light! CHA-CHING!!!)

#2: He's super passive with his draws. Any decent Limit player raises the Turn if they think you are just betting air, AK/AJ, or a 99, TT type hand. A check-raise on the turn should appear to be a Queen, so the nut flush draw is a good spot to do this

#3: He's tricky on the river


So you can value-bet this fool all day long and if he does check-raise he likely has a hand, and when a bad card hits you can save money because he'll miss value by checking to you

Nothing you did wrong, just another lucky idiot calling down. Limit poker for you. Some don't care and will make any calls.
