Was my play right here?
I figured I was behind to an ace, a flush, two pair, or a higher kicker king

I bet the turn to see if I could scare him off, but forgot you can't bluff a calling station

You turbomuck here once you're at the river, but there's no way I'm ever seeing this river.

Raise to t300 on the flop, push any non-ace turn. Considering the ace flopped, I would check behind on the turn and call any small bet on the river. (this might be bad)

i like all of this. i think you've got to fold when a calling station comes to life like this.

[skierdude1000]

ok, i did fold on river, but what about my turn bet?

I think checking turn means he auto-bets river, whcih means i auto-lose

By your own admission, villain was a calling station. When calling stations lead the betting, especially an all-in, you have to know he has a big hand, in this case a flush.

You needed to raise much more on the flop to get the drawing hands out, or at the very least know where you stand. Min re-raises achieve neither of these goals.

Against a calling station a big raise accomplishes neither of these goals either and gets you pot committed faster.
