Micro stakes 6 max
Playing against the Villain who barely bets/raises and is very straightforward to read (88/4,5; 67 hands). Sometimes even limp-folds to single raise preflop.
I was playing on the button with the hand KsKcQdQh.
UTG limps, the villain on CU limps and I raise the pot, both blinds fold.
Flop - Kh5h9s
both players check and I bet the pot. UTG folds and the Villain makes the call
Turn - 10d
The Villain bets 50% of the pot and even though I am blocking the straight with two Queens, I gave him the credit of having a straight there and called to fold on the river if I do not fill up.
River - Js
The Villain bets 50% again.
Can anyone fold this hand against that player?

Fold lol?
I’m jamming turn for value vs these stats.
The extra queen makes this a snap call.
I actually marked this player as "My favorite opponent", because his/her playstyle was just so straight-forward to read and in the end ... yes, he got me there too I just could not fold that hand.
"An opponent like this is pretty nutted when they lead this turn."
That was the case indeed and I paid him off on the river too. The Villain´s hand was AhQh Jx9x this time so he/she actually found a proper hand to play with.
But aren´t these players (loose passive) just betting/ raising the nuts on later streets in general?
VPIP 87 over 67 hands ... and I had not seen him/ her betting or raising yet.
Stop betting full pot on the flop. I wrote a long explanation in one of these other threads as to why it is pretty much almost always a mistake.
If you stop potting the flop, your decisions on the turn spots will always be significantly easier. Here, you've narrowed the ranges too much and you have to pay passively. I just really suggest reading the other post I went into it a lot deeper.
As played, you said the guy hardly bets or shows aggression, and he is doing so on a card that changed the board after he, presumably, called with a draw. I figure he just has QJ extremely often.
