I'm not sure you can be so certain of these estimates. If he's truly LAGy, he could have many hands with a Q. Also, "Harrington's Law" states there is at least a 10% chance that an opponent is bluffing when he makes a big bet. For an excessively aggro opponent, this can be mich higher...so you have even more reason to call. It sucks that he had QQ, but based on how he plays, and how he plays against you, you have to call (reevaluating the percentages/hand ranges only makes your decision clearer, it's still right).
Can you avoid it? Yes and no. You're right to not want to pick a fight with SB on life support, but KK is too strong, it's a monster 3-handed, and you have to play it aggressively. Maybe when the really aggressive player raises and then checks, some warning bells go off (he likes to bet...and he's not betting), but I still think you have to call this one.
