$115 against random, first hand

This was the first hand of my 3rd match against villian, he did not appear to be a winning player imo.  Anyway, what is villian repping here?  My thoughts were he had flush or air, I considering shoving river over his bet since I had As but wasn't confident he would fold.  Interested in opinions here, ty:

He could easily have two

He could easily have two pair or a set. I think that this should be a very easy fold at the river without any reads.

A turn shove doesn't seem terrible but I think that you might be a little deep for it.

 is repping nothing and he

 is repping nothing and he can do that with a very wide range cause simply doesn't exist an hand strong enaugth to minc\r in that flop,I fold that  overbet on turn,soving is an option and sure u make fold almost all the 9,but calling is definitly bad

Yeah, I think I should have

Yeah, I think I should have shoved the turn.  I timed down to like 3 seconds before I folded (I very rarely time down) and villian showed:

*** RIVER *** [5d 3s 9s Qs] [Jd]
AudacityLord: bets 380
rockymtnpro: folds
Uncalled bet (380) returned to AudacityLord
AudacityLord collected 640 from pot
AudacityLord: shows [4c 6s] (high card Queen)

Pissed me off cause I've only timed down like twice in the last month and both times I get shown bluffs.

Against an unknown here at

Against an unknown here at the river I would guess that you are beat like 90%+++. I think you played it fine.

Some Theory

From a theoretical standpoint you probably want to be folding this hand AND have him bluffing.

I think the worst of the hero's calling range on the turn is a pair of 2's or 5's and a spade overcard, right?

That means on the river he's going to be making a -EV bluff because he isn't getting bluff odds given that you will be calling with the rest of your range.
