NL16 6Max, QQ on HJ, King high TT flop vs loose player

I do not like the bet on the flop 3-way against 2 opponents. With a K on the flop even if the CO is a fish and the SB is still in the hand as well. As played river is a fold.

I do think if you check call the flop against the fish if he opts to bet, you have an higher ev.

CC twice and fold river?

I would like to bet flop but with smaller sizing, around 3,5-4bb. OTT you can bet vs such player, it will be +EV, but only if you choose right sizing. It should be small not more than 40% of the pot + if you bet smaller OTF you will keep his range wider, thus it makes more EV to bet pretty dry turn.

I would be more inclined to x flop if you don't have position on any player (in this case you have position on SB) and if you have a QxQh.

I would prefer to x/f river without more info on CO.

Cbetting twice is a mistake in my opinion.

However as played, I call the river since there are probably enough busted flushdraws that try to get the pot, and the K is almost the best card in the deck to call since it reduces the chance of him having a K.

It depends on the read on the particular fish. In 69 hands you could have some reads on the fish. Prone to betting if given the opportunity.

Mostly however there are a few occasions to sort out. If the fish is betting and sb is calling you are beat with sb having at least a K. So you fold
If the fish is betting and sb folds then you can call twice probably.
River is a though spot and really depends on the type of fish, and sizing and the run out of the board. But probably after 2 times check-calling the fish gives up on the river without hitting the river so you can fold river and don't have to feel ill about it.

Can I just say how difficult it is to fold on river on this run out against this opponent. I'm wondering if I can fold here check calling up this point. I think if he keeps the sizes small then I might end up calling all the way to river here.
