Should I raise this river KQ .10 NL

[Little Fishy]

At this point I have just over an orbit of data on villain... no HUD stats up yet, but looks pretty loose and a little passive, maybe 50/10ish, but too low sample size...

How was my general play on this hand and should I bump up the river??

ps. I raise KQo about 1/3 of the time PF, more from LP and less from EP, is this solid strategy... what is a good PFR with KQo?? My VP$IP with KQo is about 75ish% comments?

I would actually fold this. I don't see many players at 10NL calling down w/ a lesser king, but I do see some either calling down w/ bottom pair or slowplaying two pair, a set, or even on occasion TPTK.

On the flop, bet more. Your general line w/ TPGK OOP should be to bet 3/4 or pot on the flop, check turn for pot control on dry boards or bet 2/3 on wet ones.
