Default Good spot for free showdown raise?

Villain has tight-aggressive stats. I planned to take a free showdown w/o improvement. I thought villain might fold a better queen here, or pay off with a draw.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (3 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls.

River: (7 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 7 BB

Looks like a good spot to me as long as you can fold to a 3-bet on the turn.

Why not bet the river? I feel like there are some hands here you'll get called by that you're ahead of.

Basically any pair up to queens with lower kickers.

If this guy's a TAG and realizes hero is a TAG, he's likely calling down lightly.

Do these add up to more than 50% of the hands that he will call down with?

After getting raised on the turn? If I was villain and had any of those hands, I'd throw em away faster than I can click on the fold button. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd maayybbee call down with a Q7 or Q5, but that's very close.

Eh I was thinking yes, but I guess its closer than I thought if I'm being asked questions like that, which lack substance and suggest I am way off.

I like the play but doubt anyone folds a Q there. They call with bottom pair, let alone 2nd.
