IP with KQs vs. LAG 5nl

Stats on villain are 39/32/2.5 over 81 hands.

He's been really laggy, (as you can see) and c-bets almost any flop.

PF I just wanted to see a flop with good equity vs. his range and if hes going to c-bet anything I hit, might as well let him build the pot for me.

On the flop, I didn't want to blow him off all the hands I beat. I figure a small raise would keep in pretty much almost all Q's that he's raising with PF, and a bunch of smaller PP's.

On the turn, see I just don't know what my best size should be here. I wasn't sure if I wanted to set it up for a shove on the river or not. Any advice?

On river, I wanted to v-bet but my bet on turn made the pot size awkward in relation to my stack size. I couldn't over shove and expect to be called by worse very often, and if I bet smaller, it sets up an easy c/r for him. So I decided to check it back instead of putting myself in a bad spot.

I raise more on the flop and look to get it all in against this guy. As played your really missing a lot of value by not betting this river, as he pretty much never has anything that beats you here, and definitely isn't folding any queen, and likely will often look you up with 99-JJ or 8x.

Yea I knew I was missing value on the river for sure, and it's because of my turn bet I think. How much should I be betting on turn, or was this actually fine?

I think your turn is good, although I think a pot bet would be better because it would would commit him to calling your AI on the river with <$5 behind. But then again, we're talking about a $5NL LAG....

I'm pretty terrible at bet-sizing but I would raise to $1 on the flop, bet $2 on the turn, and shove river.

I think you should be trying to play for stacks here against a 39/32 (which in microstakes is pretty much always a big donkey).

I think you played it fine up to the river, I would bet between $2.5 and $3 on the river

I don't raise the flop, but if I do, I'm usually checking behind turn. I'm just not interested in three streets of value with this hand almost 150 big blinds deep, even against a 5NL lagtard. I'm checking turn with the intention of calling the river, however.

I don't raise the flop, I hope he barrels me on the turn
