Aggresive gameplay lets you win?

You didn’t post the whole hand history, but no offense, both of you played this pretty badly. Did villain raise PF? If so, you made a terrible call with T5o. Your flop shove on a 9 high board was also bad unless you knew villain was an uber whale. What did you expect to accomplish with this? Villain isn’t folding a flush here. A normal villain isn’t calling without one typically. Maybe you fold out some 9x hands, but that’s a small part of villains range. Mostly you are getting lesser hands to fold and stronger ones to call. That’s the opposite of what you want.

Villains call, of course is likewise bad, unless you’ve been playing overly aggressive and bluffing way too much. Board favors your range over his (assuming he raised PF as he should have). There are way too many flushes in your range to make a call with just two overs.

Moral: don’t be results oriented. If you keep making plays like that, your win rate will not be good.

Aggression definitely wins pots but it doesn’t always mean it’s the right play. Sometimes you run into the top of someone’s range like AK and just get lucky. This time it worked out for you long term though, it’s more about picking the right spots than just jamming and hoping.
