Am I right in betting?

Villain is 74/7 and is very passive.
When he checks flop it seems weak and there are flush draws and maybe Kings that call me.
When he checks again on the turn I don't think he has improved I think he would have let me know if he had a straight there as he was a straight forward passive player and I think KQ maybe bets out here not too sure? He could easily just be calling with a flush draw and maybe a pair on the flop so is it right that a bet again? if so what sizing is right?

Do you see what's going on here? By betting what will probably end up the second best hand, you play perfectly into his strategy. His strategy is super simple, just hit that call button. These are the easiest types of opponents to beat, but you're not doing it here.
Make life easier on yourself at these stakes. Bet when you have it, check when you don't, and don't worry so much about what your opponents are doing. They're mostly just randomly clicking buttons anyway, you don't have to do anything sophisticated to beat that.
In this case you were lucky that you were actually ahead when the bets went in, but you had no way of knowing that, and you had very little reason to bet at all.
Exactly! Just check-check-check all the way!
Not exactly. A one-off bet might be fine, but after that it's checkcheckcheckcheck...
But the one-off bet isn't really necessary. At these stakes it's fine to wait for even stronger hands, and just bet those. No need to get into marginal spots.
I prefer to just check back this one. Hand is pretty weak, just one pair, no blockers, no backdoors.
You must stay within whatever comfort zone you have of course. I wouldn't ever dare suggest anything else.
its fine this guy is raising most of the hands that beat you on the flop
Ok thanks for all your advice guys much appreciated!!
