Default Blind situation against a very LAG

Not a steal situation because he open limped, but...

veryLAG open limps in the CO, I complete in the SB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], BB checks.

Flop is 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I bet, BB folds, veryLAG calls.

Turn is a 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I bet, veryLAG calls.

River is a Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Do I:

-bet and call
-bet and fold
-check and call
-check and fold.

Check and call looks right to me.

Maybe this could be played like a blind steal, raise your mighty 3s since they may be best but are very vulnerable. It's harder to push the BB out since it's not two back to him but what is his image of you? The raise is to protect but it has the appearance of pressing/representing a bigger hand. Will he respect your raise since it is obvious that you could have limped cheaply instead of raising? Is the CO being lame by limping or being tricky enough to dog a big pair preflop (probably wrong since his position suggests he has less anyway and he is likely to get played back at if he raises)?

The way you played it (getting 5:1 to flop a set) is fine but the implied odds are probably less than standard situations since there are fewer opponents and a smaller pot (less reason for them to stay if you hit and they miss).

If the two lines run close in value is there possible future value from the image created by taking the more aggressive course? My experience in ring games is that people give me a lot of respect when I play full-blown poker in short-handed situations in contrast to my tight preflop play otherwise.

In retrospect c/c does seem best. I chose bet, he raised, call or fold.

It's unusual for a guy to raise on the river without the goods after you've been betting all the way. Small pairs suck out of position.

if he is very LAG, then the answer has to be bet/call or check/call. Since LAGs love to slowplay too though, I don't really want to "bet to induce a bluff here".

I check / call and expect to see a weakish draw like T8 or a 6.
