I feel like I am running a lot worse than my results show here. It's funny how your short term memory can make it feel so much worse. In any event, I have flopped exactly 1 set in my last 50-ish hours or NLHE (actually a bit more but just not exactly sure). This set went down like this (warning dumb beat). This isn't super interesting just a dumb set up.
Get stacked by a terribad fish (Hand #30)
A rec-fish ($1,200) open limps in MP and 2 more limp. I 3b BTN to $30 with 9
9
and about $1k stack. Folds back to MP who essentially limp-min re-raises to $70. (Pot ~$155) Flop Q
9
4.
He checks and I bet $85. He c/r to $225 and I call. I am pretty sure
he has AA or KK here and may find a fold if I 3b flop. (Pot ~$605) Turn 2
He just open ships ~$675 effective and I sigh call. He has QQ obv and river is 4. So he played almost every spot terribly and still I have no chips...lol. Happens sometimes I guess. Since then I have not flopped a set once. The only time I would have I had 22, saw a raise and a re-raise in front of me, folded and then saw a K29 flop. Funny thing is in my head I was convinced the 3b had KK and was wondering what I would do if I were still in. Sure enough 3b showed KK.
I also played a 5/10 hand that I am not sure about...feel like I won the minimum.
Play QQ like a weak tight nit (Hand #31)
UTG is a pretty tight, solid TAG opens to $40, 3 call and I am in BB with Q
Q. I have about $1,800, UTG covers, and one of the over callers covers.(Pot $200) Flop 7
42 I check, UTG checks 
,
UTG +1 bets $130, all fold and I call. He is Asian, overvalues OP,
doesn't like to give up, and just generally not very much of a thinking
player (he starts hand with ~$1,400). I range him on pairs lower than
mine, some combo draws, perhaps flopped sets and two pair.(Pot $460) Turn J
I check, he bets $200 and I call. I am now pretty confident I have the
best hand based on his sizing. I really feel like his hand is a lot of
66-TT, A7, etc. (Pot $860) River 5
I lead $300...he folds 99 face up.Any thoughts on this hand. Perhaps c/r flop once it gets past UTG and given UTG +1 image. I think UTG open got me playing this hand a bit too conservatively.

Brian,
Do you feel like the villain would bet if you check the river? What if you donk bet $150. Does he call or raise?

@cowboy I'm not sure if he bets if checked to. My general read on these players is that they tend to be more passive than anything else. So expecting him to bet 3 streets with what I perceive to be a marginal hand seems wishful.
On the flip side, not sure if he is thinking on this level but I don't really rep a ton of bluffs with my line. Maybe like AThh or something like that but other than that I don't really have many bluffs in my range. So then it becomes a value bet and his actual holding does pretty poorly against my value range.
As far as bet sizing, yeah I guess if I know he is as weak as he is something like $150 makes more sense. But my read was that he overvalued marginal 1 pair hands so I went slightly bigger.
Brian,
Does the casino allow you to show cards when you are heads-up? Another option would have been to show him the Qh, bet pot or shove. I've found players that like to make hero calls with marginal hands.
