The flop pretty much played itself.

I think the flop is the worst street in the hand.

You give this read:

He would limp most of the time seeing about 33% of the flops but if he caught any piece of a flop or a pocket pair and he didn't think the flop helped anyone else he would get very agressive with it.

The key here is in bold and, IMO, typical of this player type at 2/4. He's not betting without a piece of the flop here. Much less - he's not raising without a decent piece of the flop. Everyone in between folded to Villian's raise. You don't have the equity HU to be 3-betting a weak flush draw and 2-undercards against the range of hands that he'd play this way. Bet/Call the flop next time.

Turn is standard. Bet/folding the river against this player sounds like a good line. Check/Folding doesn't seem good here because with his higher post-flop aggression and the read you gave I think he's going to bet this river with almost any two cards if you check to him. You'll probably be folding the best hand a decent amount of the time for 1BB in a decent sized pot.

Given his tendency to bet when checked to check/calling doesn't seem like a horrible line either. We may get him to bet a worse hand that he wouldn't have called with (maybe busted overcards with a high diamond). I can also see taking this line if for some other read-based reason you'd have a difficult time betting and folding to a raise.
