100NL 2 hands did I Lost value???

villian seemed like a standard tag so far 22/19/3 over 98 hands.

His flop raise is kinda bizzare because he doesn't really rep anything. i tryed to make my river bet look like a blocker bet so he can raise it, and so he won't check back worst hands.

Do u guys have a different line??

Hand #1: I still check on the river. He's almost never doing this with a pair of queens since there's only one more out there. He either has a 9 or a bluff. A 9 will still be betting the river and a bluff isn't calling any bet so hope he has the balls to fire a 3rd barrel.

Hand #2: wtf at checking back the turn and wanting to raise the river? Bet turn/ bet river, fold if raised.
