Default Blind Steal, too LAGgy?

Maybe some of you guys can help me out with this. It felt kind of LAGish. Anyone do anything differently?

This guy was somewhat solid, smart enough to defend a blind steal, but still a little loose and passive post-flop.

Not sure how I feel about my flop and turn plays here. The villain never hesitated to act throughout the hand, then took 10-20 seconds on the turn after my turn bet, so at that point I was pretty sure I could get him to fold. That made the river an easy bet. All comments appreciated.

Easy fold on the flop. You are in bad shape against the range of hands he 3-bets with preflop, and you won't have much success pushing him off a better hand. This is raging chip spewery, pure and simple.

Makes sense, I definitely didn't feel good about this hand.

What if my hand was K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? Still an easy flop fold?

K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? What would your line be with this?

K 9? What would your line be with this?

Both of these hands should be played. With K5 I'll usually call the flop, raise the turn, and check through the river unimproved.

My normal line with K9 here would be to raise the flop, and bet all the way down.
