Bigger all streets I guess?

Pre is standard. Flop I check as not scared of any card and if he has Qx the money is going in anyway so I lose nothing from his value range. Turn I need to try and get some value so bet. River is not ideal as JT gets there plus Q9 but still betting.

I'd have gone three streets. I expect all PP and even some Ax hands to call the flop so feel there is value to be hand. Turn and river as played should have been around 80-90% pot.

The aim of the game at the micros is to make as much money with your big hands, we can't do that by checking.

I don't like checking versus a short stacked bad player because we're settling for only two streets of value when he has pocket pairs or floats your c bet and hits the turn.

If he's bad there's a good chance he'll just call you down with any pocket pair as micro fish hate to give credit on a paired board.

I don't know where you got the assumption that if the villain has a Qx "stacks are going in anyway". Your run of the mill 60bb villain will usually have a difficulty putting money into the pot no matter how high up in his range is he (calling too much with bottom/middle part of his range + taking sub-optimal value lines with the top) and if you don't bet the flop you'll have to massively overbet one of the other streets to manage the pot correctly. Lastly it makes on the sense in the world for you to bet this texture at this limit with a wide range and since there's no need to ever balance that play you might as well do it with the top for the pot management sake.

My short answer would be just bet bet push. Messing about just loses too much money versus this player type, especially on a gin flop. The only way I would check the flop here is if I was too busy rubbing my hands together and timed out.
