Default Live: Turn hand into bluff vs. guys that bet for info?

So, many of you are probably familiar with those guys in live FR who limp-call with AQ, or cold-call in position with stuff like AQ (or AK, or KQ).

So I ran into this situaion a few times at the bellagio $2/$5 last weekend.

There would be 2-3 limpers to me in LP, and I would raise with QJs.

Flop would come Q-high, fairly dry, and a TAGfish-type player (i.e., tight and aggressive, but not a very good poker player, doesn't read hands well, etc) would check-raise me.

I always folded. But one time I had the goods, and got check-raised here when I was holding KK. I called, and he got this sort of "erm. [censored]. Whadda I do now?" look, and checked the turn (I checked back), and check-folded the river.

So then it occurs to me that maybe a better strategy is to turn a hand like QJ into a pure bluff and push the flop. I mean, many of these players are "betting for information". Why not give him some false intel?

Anyone here have a lot of live experience (I don't, hence I get into some trouble playing like it's still 6-max online...) and have some thoughts on this?
