My opponent thought the play sucked and went on, and on, and on ...

If I knew I was outkicked, I wouldn't have played the way I did (obviously), but I saw the $15 bet on the turn as a scared money bet and translated that to an A, small kicker hand, which is why I check raised.

Opponent was aggressive preflop when he played and got more passive after the flop with calls and checks.

So, would you have played the hand this way?
