Shoves.
You should definitely lead the flop, or CR when you get the chance.
Your raise on the turn should be slightly larger too, you're giving him too good odds if he has a flush draw, especially if it contains a gutshot or OESD as well. I would raise to about $85 from his $20 bet. When he re-raises, you should shove. If he has AK he's probably calling. He could also have A3 or A5. AA or QQ is also possible but unlikely (only 1 combination of each is left) and 33/55 is also possible if he raises all pairs preflop. Still, he could have a flush draw here and you want to make him pay and make it so that you get all his money even if he misses. There's also the chance he has a hand like AK and will fold to too much action on the river if another heart falls, or similiarly if he has A3 he will fold if a 5 or Q comes on the river.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
