Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $2.01 (100.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $2.02 (101 bb)
UTG: $3.27 (163.5 bb)
MP: $2.06 (103 bb)
CO: $2.37 (118.5 bb)
BTN: $2.03 (101.5 bb)

Small sample size on villian of 37 hands - stats are 31/11 so far (seen him open limp AT from UTG) - first time I have seem him 3-bet - seems pretty passive post-flop (0.6 AF)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q♣: Q♠:
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.06, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, MP calls $0.14

I think a fairly standard 3bet - sizing okay? Went a little bigger as OOP post flop.

Flop: ($0.41) 2♥: 9♠: 9♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, MP calls $0.30
Happy to c-bet here - again sizing okay? or do people prefer smaller bet as no need to protect.

Turn: ($1.01) 5♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks
Thinking I probably should have fired a 2nd barrel here - I think I should have bet smaller on the flop and then 2/3rds here with the blank.

River: ($1.01) 8♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.32, MP raises to $1.56 and is all-in, Hero folds
No draws completed - I think I am good only going down to 9x or AA or KK (does he 4-bet pre-flop with these?) - I bet small hoping he may call, but get this shove - given he is passive post-flop I don't like this assume I am beat and fold. Anything different as played on the river?

I don't like how I played this hand now - especially the turn - any suggestions on a preferred line I'd appreciate.

Results:

Spoiler

$1.65 pot ($0.06 rake)
Final Board: 2♥: 9♠: 9♦: 5♠: 8♥:
Hero mucked Q♣: Q♠: and lost (-$0.82 net)
MP mucked and won $1.59 ($0.77 net)

Don't show results because it doesn't help the people giving advice. Against a fish like this I would 3bet bigger preflop
because often times they are such a big calling station to see those precious three cards on flop. Then TB him proportionately
to fit a shove on river but I would start very small on flop. I'm never folding QQ here against someone like this but I would
size it differently.

I would size it smaller, or maybe check, on the flop. Board is very dry and you're not going to get 3 streets alot of the times.

As played i like the small bet otr to get calls from medium pp's, after he shoves you're almost always beat. It's not a bluffheavy line that he took. (xb turn and shove river)

Could he have 88 here? It would fit with his line pre- and post-flop. I’d definitely fold here on the river, but I’m betting the turn to protect against the flush draw.

You don't bet to protect your hand, you bet for value. Same on turn. Bet.

Not so profitable. His range is probably this TT+, AJo +, ATs, KQo, KQs. I will use AKo, AKs, KK+.

As played, 1/2 pot. We want Ax, KQs with BD. Check-raise OTT. He will bet the PP for protection. Maybe some bluff (Ax). Or he will check back and call this OTR.

Vs this raise OTR....If my assumption is correct, I mean for his range, this should be call. What do you think?

Check call the river maybe if you are not happy to call the all in, Bluff catch.
