NL25 QQ in the BB vs button

[Joni]

I was lost in this hand. I tried to c/r on the flop but he checked behind. I was thinking of betting the turn but somehow I decided to try a check-raise again.

Opponent is 31/7 after only 45 hands so not much of a read.

what exactly do you want him to call with? i think you're ahead often enough to call his bet but raising is spew IMO.

I guess my question is why do you want to CR? Do you think he 4-bets worse hands?

I'm inclined to Ch-C, Ch-C, Ch-C and let him bluff away. Or lead at the flop and evaluate from there.

Lead or check/call. You're turning your hand into a bluff. Although he might be bad enough to pay you off with whatever crap he has.
