AQ against loose opponent.

The CO has been playing very loose. Likes to call raises with just about anything. I had seen him min-raise with KK a few hands earlier.

Should I be re-raising a min-raise here against a loose opponent?

I wanted to see a cheap showdown but I think it was a mistake checking behind on the turn. The re-raise on the flop and check on the turn really confused me.

Preflop: Raise, you have position and a good hand, and you don't want the blinds limping in with trash you can't define.
Flop: He could be min-reraising just thinking you're stealing. Your raise priced a draw, let him price it higher if he wants. I would call as you did.
Turn: You must bet to price out draws again. I'd go $10, fold to a raise.
River: Given how you played it I call expecting to see a worse pair or busted straight draw enough to make it profitable.

I think you let the flush draw get there for free, then called a value bet.
