Default Common spot when defending blinds

3$/6$ Party Pokah. Villain is standard TAG 22-13 or something. Steal blinds at 28. I just sit down so he probably doesnt think much about me as he didnt play with me last few days (when I played about 30-20 trying to imitate Cts).
I thought betting the turn is the only way to get two bets out of Q's or AA also one bet from draws as he probably checks behind all those hands.
What do you think ? Any comments about flop play ?

I think foldign KJs here is not an option but 3betting doesnt seem liek attractive option either as all worse K's and J's will fold and hand wont be worth much postflop.

Its fine to mix up with leading sometimes as long as you balance with draws/monsters.

But don't do this if you don't plan ahead. Know what to do if he raises. Against some players with ego/aggro issues I would sometimes lead to induce the raise and then call/push. Against others it would be a bet/fold line.

I mix it up preflop between folding/calling/raising based on my table image, the player in the big blind, my tiltiness, etc.

The boss is defending 25% of his hands from BB. How can I be even close to that if I fold KJ sooted ?
