[NL5 SH] Kings don't trust fish (but should they?)

SB: $8.89 (177.8 bb)
Hero (BB): $10.56 (211.2 bb)
UTG: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
MP: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
CO: $3.61 (72.2 bb)
BTN: $6.76 (135.2 bb)

Villain is a fish, and I have the following notes on him:
- Raises cbets with under pocket pairs on wet boards and stacks to a reraise
- Preflop calls 3bets with 56o and 68s, can fold to a cbet
- Can stack preflop with 44

His stats are 47/23/3B:6.0/Hands:134/FT3B:29/FTCB:35/Agg%:32(doesn't decrease by river, in fact, river agg% is even slightly higher)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K K
3 folds, BTN calls $0.05, SB folds, Hero raises to $0.20, BTN calls $0.15

Even if I didn't have kings, I would value 3bet him very wide seeing how he calls with all sorts of rubbish.

Flop: ($0.42) 4 9 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.26, BTN raises to $0.52, Hero calls $0.26

I believe I'm clearly ahead here. I don't even put him on pocket pairs (that could have made a set) preflop, so I'm not afraid of his raise, especially with my first note (which was taken from a different hand). I decided not to reraise him though, seeing how I don't have the nuts, and I might get a fold from a weaker pair.

Turn: ($1.46) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.40, Hero calls $1.40

He pots (saw him doing this before), but again, trusting my reads I assume that it's either a bluff or he wrongly valuebets me with weaker.

River: ($4.26) 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $2.05, Hero calls $2.05

I would much rather call his shove, to be honest, because his 1/2 pot bet looks more like a valuebet than a bluff. I would fold here (even earlier) all day long against a reg, but I though that against this guy I could be ahead 25% of the time.

That's what I often do against players I consider fish. I just don't give them any credit and call them down or value bet three streets. He showed me 9h2h that caught a straight with a 2 on the river, but maybe I still have a leak in my game with fish? Or it's fine?

Thanks!

If you have this note on him then it is a really big mistake to not raise the flop here.

I thought of it too while posting the hand, actually. It's just that he doesn't have stats of a maniac, and I though that maybe he doesn't always stacks with small pairs.
