I think you bet. A high and smaller pairs will call you more times than he has a Q. But is this guy aggressive enough to bet more than those when checked to?

I wonder the same thing. An aggressive player will probably conclude that we're trying to induce a bluff unless we've been getting sexy on the river a lot, but does that prevent him from betting his PPs? He's likely to be thinking that:

1) we want to see a showdown after we check since we probably bet most of the hands we're content to fold hoping we'll push him off a better no-pair hand.

2) we might be giving up

I agree with Miles that it's better to bet if he shows passive tendencies. I think this decision is closer.
