Have been at the table with the villian almost the whole tourney. Not once has he raised, just limp calling the whole time. How is my line? Is may raise size good with the 1 limp? And as far as his river bet I am beat. Chalk it up as idiot poker on his part?

yep well played.
i also like your flop bet sizing, as i think the same range calls whether you bet 1200 or 1600 or 2000 but you have saved yourself the most amount of chips.

I think you played it well,nice pre-flop bet. I like the c-bet and the check on the turn. I agree with the fold with the ace and flush out there. It is possible he was afraid of the flush on the turn, but with him calling a lot it is better to be safe then sorry.
"Your either in Sheen's Korner or your with the trolls."
Think you played it great, a couple of things I may have done slightly differently
If he’s been limp-calling everything then I maybe go to 1200-1500 pre just for extra value. If he’s been shown to call down with second or third pair (like many of the fish out there) then I maybe also value bet the turn since my hand is probably ahead there also. You did pick up the flush draw in case he does have an ace.
The second point is villain dependent though and I usually have a solid set of stats when Im value betting a lower pair on an Ace high board. When villain is playing something like vpip 60%+, call open 50%+, aggression factor <1, WTDS 60%+.

This is really good. I don't mind how you played the hand one bit. It seems everyone floats these days so I may have fired like 2100-2400 on the turn cause there is a good chance he goes away and we do have the flush draw if he does call. If everyone is limp/calling I would probably make my sizing preflop a little bigger as well. Like I said don't mind how you played it but if he was limp/calling with a weak ace that spade on the turn may have scared him and he might fold his ace rag to a 2nd barrel on turn.
i agree with others re: going bigger PF in this situation. in general, though, i have nothing wrong with your pf sizing, just that you can get more value here in this specific spot.
flop is fine.
i like checking turn. i highly doubt we get him to fold better or call worse.
river is good. nh.
I agree with Goliath's comments. I like raising a bit more PF with a hand like QQs since I know I am way ahead of most of his range.
Also We know he limps his entire range but did you mention his VPIP? if it is on the 50%+ I might convert my QQ to a bluff on the turn after he checked, betting aorund 1/3 to 1/2 the pot. this might even result in him checking the river scared of the flush giving you 2 chances to win the pot.
I do agree A rags are in his range here a ton so even if you get a free showdown you might lose the pot and the extra chips you bet on the turn, though a bit wiser .
