river spot vs a recreational player with capped range

200nl live full ring, utg straddle 4 ppl limp and I limp in bb with k6ss with 180bb. utg checks preflop.

flop 6hqs8s:

I check utg bets $12 into 30$ folds around and I raise to 30$ and utg calls (utg 200bb deep)

turn a 3d:

I check utg bets $55 into $90 I call

river 10h

I check utg bets $55 I shove all in and get called by q7off.

some reads on utg:

recreation player, has taken similar lines prior with top pair weak kicker. seemed to me that his range was capped at top pair and was certainly not the type of player to construct a river raising range for me. my river shove was designed to get him to fold a queen which I was certain was a huge part of his range by the river, he would have bet larger than 55 on river with 2 pair+. also like I said he used a similar line of betting same amount on turn and river with an unimproved top pair. in hindsight my line doesn't give me very many nut hands and leaves me with a lot of draws since any queen worse than aq I just call the river (aq I would raise preflop as well) and any sets/2 pair I lead turn for value/protection and lead on river for value. is my range really relevant in this spot against a rec player? if you know he has a capped range is trying to blow him off his hand advisable even though you cant represent many nut combos? again we are talking recreation player.

I normally wouldn't play k6ss, but we were deep and I thought the players at the table made enough post flop mistakes that if I did hit I could exploit there mistakes. I know my turn check is not optimal in this spot with my hand, and I called turn knowing if I hit a 6,k, spade I would be ahead. should I check raise turn and barrel river?

I was also playing pretty tight and there shouldn't have been any read that I was out of line.

advice please!

thanks
