Playing in a private, loose-splashy 1-2 game. I’ve been card dead for nearly 3 hours, and the last two times I played a hand, the Villain blurted out (“Oh, he’s finally playing a hand”). Villain has already lost at least $300 and is playing with $200 he borrowed from another player. I have $310 and this Villain covers me. When I first sat down at the table, he playfully stated he was eyeing my money ($900) when I bought in at the table for $200, and when I said “Put your money on the table” (there is no buy-in cap), he jokingly noted that he couldn’t match it.
In the first of the two hands I played in the last two hours, I 3-bet with KQo from the SB after the Villain’s apparent weak BTN raise over one limper, and I folded to a MAWG’s min-raise 4-bet from the BB.
In the other hand, I similarly raised this Villain’s weak BTN raise with KQs, was called by one limper who generally plays ABC against me but is drunk and up a lot, and when I c-bet on an A-high board, he raised me and when I folded he showed Q8s (missed the board entirely). Consequently, the Villain could easily see me as a weak-tight nit.

I bet $15…Villain checkraises to $40, I call.

Villain bets $50...
Given my image at the table, folding seems bad. However, if I'm behind and planning to bluff-catch, I could be fading at least half the deck. And while GII would force him to either call with worse or give up his equity, it would be a large overbet with a hand which could be drawing dead.
Ugh...
