NL10 - TPTK Against Wannabe LAG

Villian is 52/16/5 over 38 hands. He wants to be LAG when he grows up. I've seen him call preflop raises OOP and donk the flop.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG ($6.35)
MP ($8)
CO ($12.10)
Hero ($9.85)
SB ($30.45)
BB ($10)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.6, SB calls $0.55, 1 fold, UTG folds, CO folds.

Flop: ($1.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $1, Hero calls $1.

Not the driest of boards. Considering his range, this flop bet could be a draw, a pair, or a monster. I'd like to see the turn, but there's lots of cards that can scare me off. 

Turn: ($3.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $0.9, Hero calls $0.90.

That's a blank. I've either slightly ahead or way behind, but Villian's turn bet is weak. Is he still trying to price himself in with a draw? 

River: ($5.30) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $3.3, Hero calls $3.30.

Another blank. Nothing's changed with whether I'm ahead or behind. A busted draw may make this bet. KJ, KT make this bet. So do the hands that beat me. But he's LAGish, so I think he would play AQ and QJ like this also. 

Final Pot: $11.90

Thoughts on this passive line?

bump for the Saturday morning crowd.

I think this is the best way to get the value if he has a marginal hand/bluff and the cheapest way to know if you are beat.
