Default QQ on K high flop

This is a situation I have found myself in alot recently. Im know folding is the default but it just seems so exploitable. Anyway, my read on villain is that he likes to bet with mid pair when checked to. He also calls down bets with mid pair. So Im going to label him as a LAG. His stats suggest otherwise but its over a small sample and observing his play, hes definitely LAG. I really had no idea what to put him on so I guess if everyone could come up with a range that would be good too. Comments on all streets appreciated.

Since the flush didn't hit I think I'll put a $3 blocking bet out on the river. Not sure if that's spewy or not. Thoughts?

I really have not used blocker bets at all up to this point but I think its something I should incorporate into my game more. Its not a bad idea here, I guess I would like to hear other's thoughts on this as well.

This is kind of my default line too; c-bet flop, if called give up..
I think I fold this against an unknown... No clue what he's trying to represent on the river tho..

insta call given description
classic busted flush draw line. Given your description, he is betting a king everytime on the turn.
Plus given your description he might be betting a pair of 8.
don't fold here.
And again given descrittion betting turn could be a good line

I fold this river. I think we see two pairs and poorly played sets here a lot.

I think he attempted to represent a 7 I guess, but I really dont know. I thought about betting turn again as well, but part of me wanted him to bet the turn for me. I was much happier to get more money in on the turn than the river, but maybe thats wrong.

This is never two pair or a set. Saying that's just seeing monsters in the closet, the only way he has that sort of hand is if he had positively no idea what he was doing.
Checking turn is fine, and I throw out about 5$ on the river as a blocking bet. As played I call, this is a missed flush draw a huge portion of the time.

Do you think there is more merit to c/c attempting to go for a cheap show down/inducing a bluff, or for a blocker bet?

Given description of player and the way this hand played I can say with certainty that this is a river value bet with two pair or better
