In what way does checking with position "scream monster"? I'd say it looks very weak to me. Similarly, raising a known LAG on the river could easily be an attempt to grab a pot in which no one seems to have much interest

When considering the turn action combined with preflop and flop, I think the turn check is a sign of extreme strength, or extreme weakness. Just calling on the river furthers the image of extreme weakness and guarantees an overcall from the guy w/ QQ-TT. The turn check/river raise now pushes the perception to either extreme strength, or absolutely nothing. Given that the players in this pot know that Hero is TAG, absolutely nothing is impossible on that board. I think just calling not only assures us of an overcall, it also gives QQ a chance to make a horrible river raise, thinking he's doing it for value.
