villian is 50/0/0.6, my feeling is that he could be holding any two here looking to pair(is that an acurate assumption?)

who bets this turn?

I wouldn't check the turn because that gives the villain an excuse to bet anything on the river. A lot of these loose-passives call any flop bet to see if they improve on the turn, and then fold if they don't. The Ace is actually a good card for your fold equity. Bet the turn, and check/fold the river if he's still there or donks.

I think this is a nice assessment. These LPs will do as Bodhi says, and my experience would suggest you'll get a fold here maybe 30% of the time. If you are called, just don't make the mistake of betting the river here. A is nice for fold equity as occassionally a hand like 99 or even a J might fold here as well.
