QQ meets serious resistance with a raggy flop

[Donkey Kong]

Villain is a regular at this site, quite loose, but plays well postflop. 36/18/3.5 over 250 hands.
Is the turn call ok? I was thinking he had an overpair too, so I wanted showdown without having to pay him off too much if he had KK/AA. If I raise I'll get 3-bet quite often, and that would probably tell me I'm dead. Might as well just go into call-down mode here OR is that to weak?
River most likely didnt change anything (of course there's an odd chance he played AK, but not likely). I thought I'm behind more often than not, so I checked it. Again: good or too weak?

I don't think I could play this any differently.Until the river the only hands I can see you beating is JJ and a flush draw (only because he is that aggressive), unless you think he would three bet TP.

[Ricks]

Yes.

I think that it was played well. Villain's stats are almost that of a full-blown maniac.

Are these FR stats or SH stats?

I think I would value bet the river

[Donkey Kong]

Its SH stats. I dont think villain is a maniac, but he's too loose even for shorthanded games, at least preflop.
I was thinking about betting the river at the time, but i was pretty sure the only hand I'd beat was JJ. So I checked it down.

There are a few Tx hands that show up, plus with a high aggression level he could also have smaller PPs and thinks you're raising the flop with AK for the free card.

[James.]

i would raise the turn. too many scare cards can come on the river that kill the action from a smaller pp. of course HU i'll sometimes raise the turn with a flushdraw/overcard hand or 88 so he's obligated to call down a decent portion of the time, plus i'll check the river with a certain frequency as well.

edit to say you need to valuebet the river, yo.

Raise more and bet the river. Checking the river with AK is bad against essentially everyone.

So you what you're saying is "cap the flop" and keep on raising? I guess you're right, but I remember having some serious concerns when I played the hand. A preflop 3-bet from this guy was sign that he had the goods. I didnt see him 3-bet junk. With continued aggression I thought it was most likely an overpair. So the only hands I could imagine him have were premium hands (AA, KK, JJ, AK or a low PP although I didnt even consider that option when i played the hand) I'm having some difficulties seing that Tx can be in his 3-betting range preflop here.

After running into the flop resistance I was afraid he was going to c/r me on the turn. I realise thats weak thinking, but I think the guy was getting to me at the point (I was on a heavy losing streak).

My line of reasoning for not betting the river was that essentially the only hand in the (very narrow) range I put him on I beat is JJ. (Did I put him on a way too narrow range of cards?) So when I bet the river here I'll get called by JJ, but thats the only hand I beat. I was very insecure about my equity at this point, so I chickened out.
What if I bet and get raised? Can I find a fold?

if you cap the flop and he still leads a relatively blank turn you don't need to raise anymore. you're in a thin spot.
