Villain is LAG playing 28/23/3.3 over 403 hands. He also opens 27% of his hands UTG (thx HEM)

I decided to flat KQo IP cause i thought if he is opening so wide, i wanna keep in his dominated hands.

On the turn I decided to bet, my thinking is that the player would be valuebetting all aces and also bluffing the ace as a scare card. Once he check calls I think that this is one of those spots where his range isnt merged on the turn, So his hand is somewhat face up. This is kind of speculation because I don't rly know how he plays postflop.

Anyway I decide to bet the river pretty big, it looks bluffy, the flushdraw has missed and i want value from worse queens.

How is my logic, is this standard on all streets?

Looking back i think my bet sizing on the turn and river could probably be bigger, especially on the turn.

Turn is fine, river is fine as well - the size is about right.

Trying to understand how his PFR is 23 if he opens 27% UTG. Sample size ldo?

For me it seems a little thin, like I cannot possibly imagine worse calling you on the river but I also think that he pretty much never has you beat either so I guess betting praying for a hero call from QJ is fine.
