Hey guys, Villain is 54/21 after 20 hands, so not much of a read. On the flop I feel like that even though I am not getting many folds against fish, I might be actually value betting with AK. Since turn gives me flush draw I continue betting with a lot of outs (without flush draw or pair on turn I would give up). Giving up like that on turn / river seems cheap to me, but I have no idea how else should I play it?

You block a lot of the flushdraws with the A♠:
Flop hits the range of the BTN with suited and connected cards (hands like J9, T9, T8, 87, Q8). But after your 3bet PF I don't know what his range would look like in this board.
I'd play mixed strategy OTF: sometimes cbetting, sometimes checking.
OTT I'm check-calling if the price is good.
As played, the river is an easy fold with ace high.

Flop and turn ok and consistant if not really mandatory indeed, and then as played nothing else to do than to finally give up. That's poker.
