I'm in a vaccum, sorta. I'm imagining that he's kind of a nit, though. It was his second hand in 17 hands. I just don't know how to react to his flop check, so i took the passive route. (leak?) I'd planned to shove over any turn aggression --or-- raise to his check/ call shove --or-- set up for the river shove on a safe card. I'm not sure if this is correct in a small-ish vaccum considering his 4-bet.
Should I be looking for a cheap showdown?
I've really been struggling in 3 and 4 bet pots at 50nl. Any general advice on the types of players I should 3bet, and when to 3bet them? (i.e. what type of stats should I target?)

Agreed, but its only been 17 hands. Either way, flating is probably the better option if I even feel (without def proof) that he's a nit.

flop is the only good street imo.
First off, 3betting a suspected nits with QQ, only to call his 4bet which is very likely not a bluff is bad imo. And if you were to bet the flop here when his range is like KK+, AK that would also be bad. So flop is an easy check behind. And as played, turn shove is bad imo. He likely doesn't have TT, JJ (as most FR players wouldn't 4bet those hands, so certainly not a suspected nit). So a shove is only getting called by KK, AA, and folds out his AK that you beat.

Guys: 17 hands is no indication of anything. I've gone both 0/0 and 60/40 in under 20 hands. Against an unknown 3betting preflop is best and betting flop is best and I don't think it's that close.

I'm with Dean here, you can put too much emphasis on stats. In the last couple days I've seen people with 0 and 1.5% 3-bet stats over 150+ hands stack off with AQo and TT respectively.

I definitely agree that 17 hands isn't any kind of sample at all. But if you do suspect someone is a nit (and have more information to back it up), then this is played badly.
I agree against an unknown a 3bet is fine. However:

Are you talking as played with villain 4betting you want to bet this flop? Or if villain would have just flatted the 3bet?

Well then, when he 4bets, are your two options shove and fold?

no because we have setmining odds, folding is horrible after the min 4bet.

Missed that it was a min bet.  What if it was standard 4bet?

a standard 4bet I would almost never 3bet/fold QQ against (there may be some exception like someone who rarely folds to 3bets and very rarely 4bets, I guess there are always exceptions to rules in poker, but I think it's very rare...) The point is you should make your plan about whether you are stacking off or not before the 3bet.
edit: I just completely answered the wrong question!
yeah calling 4bets is weird and I don't really ever do it, I'd probably only do it with AA or KK against a spewtard but then if they're that spewy theyll probably stack off anyway preflop so I just never really do it..
But then nutsinho's location a while ago was "calling your 4bets, making you tilt" I think, so maybe I'm levels behind on this one.
edit 2 : Location: flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt.

Raising the turn is kinda bad.
If he's got a worse hand let him fire away on the river.
