Villian is a little loose donk. Should I c-bet? What do you think about his sizing on the flop?

I'd just shove the flop. If he had AK he would have prolly shoved pre given his steack size. KQ is an unlikely holding for him because you have two queens. And there are a lot of draws out there he might go broke with. Plus if you shove here he might think you have a draw and pay you off with a hand like TT. As played I c/r AI. QQ on a K high board is much stronger than KK on an A high board because bad players tend to play any ace but not nearly every king.

The other possible line is to just shove preflop. If Villain is a loose donk, he/she may well call you with all sorts of crap that you crush.

As played, I agree with shoving the flop for the reasons losttrem mentioned.

taipan, he wasn't that much loose. I wanted to 3-bet and get value from my hand; I didn't want him to fold. I could definitely 3-bet a little more with a limper behind but again I don't want him to fold. He might be minraising with AJ, AT, A9s, A8s, JJ,TT,99 and I can stack stack him more easily if he flops TPTK or a lower board than his PP.
