Default Picking off a bluff, or bluff C/R? BB w/ 99

So yeah, no reads. His flop bet looked suspiciously weak -- something like A/x that missed. I might even be able to pick off QQ-AA against a weakie, no? Does anyone ever make this standard raise against weak bets? I also make that raise with a set.

His bet is not really a bluff, but rather a standard continuation bet on a flop that everyone could have easily missed. Why not lead out for $2 instead of making the checkraise? I guess the check-raise isn't terrible, but if he does have QQ-AA, you are in trouble because he's never going to fold, but that is besides the point. I just think leading is a lot simpler.
