Hi!

Preflop if you have a capping range then Im definatelly capping this one also, otherwise its fine.

Flop I would fold. Board is pretty terrible for your hand and even if you have the best hand it will be hard for you to calldown,your outs are very dirty and if he has any kind of draw he will barrel you off anyway. There are better hands in your range which you can call here. I suggest doing some equity calculations to see how you stand with different holding on different board.

Turn is actually another terrible card for you. A huge part of his range which you were beating just got a pair so you are basically down to odds and outs. You need around 8 clean ones and you are not getting them,and to make it even worse you are OOP. Clear fold turn.

River is easy fold for basically the same reasons,just that now even his flushes got there.

If the Flop was rainbow you can peel off one. Thats fine but you dont have showdownvalue with your hand. Means that you'll almost never end up at the showdown and win with just KQ. You'll be mostly barreled on the TUrn again and there is almost no Turncard you can continue on and as it happened in this hand your flopcall just leads to further mistakes as you odds ain't still not good enough to call again. With no showdownvalue and maybe 2-3 Outs from flop to Turn it's an easy fold. With K♥ you might consider checkraising the Flop and use the chance to push him off Ax on cards that could have made you the straight. 7 T 5 etc.
