Default Bluffing with QQ

No reads on VILLAIN. On flop my internet connection failed for a moment, so i was checked by default. Would you have donked the flop here? Now, when villain made such a weak bet on the flop, I thought Iīd check raise as a bluff. How did I play this hand? Too small a raise?

> HERO raised for $0.39
> VILLAIN raised for $1.36
> HERO called for $0.97
2 folds

It's only a bluff against KK (because that's the only better hand this might work against), but it basically seems okay to me.

The checkraise is so small that you're not investing much, but it still might be sufficient to drive out KK, and also it's possible you'll get a cheap showdown (and win) versus JJ if Villain fears another checkraise.

Sorry, itīs 10NL, full stacks. I c/r because he made such a weak bet, and figured I might get him to fold QQ-KK. Even if I had the best hand, I wouldnīt want to call down any more streets to find out. So calling down seems like a bad option, reverse implied odds are gonna get you.

Still, is it better to donk the flop?
