Bob, I would checkraise the flop. With the flush draw and paired board, you are gonna induce a lot of calldowns from Ax hands as well as any pair. Additionally, he will often peel the flop incorrectly.

The way you played it, the only reason to bet the river is if you think he is capable of raising the turn with a hand like 66-JJ and not betting the river with it. As another poster mentioned, if his range is Qx/KK/AA, that K only moves you ahead of the 8 combinations of AQ. You are still behind 8 combinations of QQ-AA. Furthermore, AQ will bet the river very often so a bet gains nothing in that spot.

If you do think he is capable of making that turn raise with a pair lower than Qs, the bet/call is fine. However, I think usually you will be splitting or behind after the turn, so I would check/call the river. But like I said I think checkraising the flop is the right play sir.
