Default QQ overpair against fish, deepish

Villain is 40/11/1 over 350 hands, but has been a bit more active than those stats suggest at this table. My notes on him read 'value bet relentlessly" after he called two big barrels with bottom pair against me earlier on. Truth be told, though, I hadn't closed the notebox after writing that down, and as such I didn't have that read during the hand. Not sure how much it would have changed, though...

Anyway, how do others play this hand? Comments on all streets, and a general 'plan' after the check mini-raise, are welcome.

Check min-raise flop and 1/2 pot lead turn and river from villan with aggression factor of 1? I feel a little uncomfortable here. There's gotta be a better line than this, suggestions?

Looks OK to me.

I dont see any point after the flop when a raise is preferable to a call.

I expect that you will end up winning more often than not here.

If he was a good player you might be able to fold here, but I've seen this line with a flush draw from a donkey. I would take the same line, I don't think he's folding whatever he has and you have to get to showdown as cheap as you can, any raising is only knocking out worse hands. If the flush draw gets there and he keeps betting I probably fold, at that point there isn't much he can have that you can beat.
