This guy was just playing nearly every hand.

Table is just full of calling stations..villian is 73/25 over 20 hands.

Had a hand previously with him where I had pocket kings and I raised pre, he 3bet, I 4bet and he folded..he sems the sort to "get even because you blew me out of a pot"

When he called my flop bet I coulden't work it out, I assume he was floating with over cards, flush draw or a smaler pocket pair as the most obvious.

When the turn brings a Queen I'm struggling what to do, if I check he's liekly to bluff me out of the pot but I feel I'm inclined to call but can't help feel I might be behind so do I just ship and if he has a queen then so be it?

If you are getting called really really light then shove, but if you think he is folding alot of his air, but would bluff with it then check/call.
check/folding is silly if you think he may be bluffing a decent % of the time.

Agree can't check/fold here. I'd probably just ship it, but yeah reading duggs's answer, if you think he'll bluff often here you can probably check/call.

yeah get it, you checking will just lead to a tough decision for yourself. he checks behind you then spade comes off def another twist to hand you want to avoid.

Shove or check call the impending shove. You might not be beat, but you priced yourself in. Stubborn villain with twice your stack will shove if you don't. You should have shoved preflop or flat called to hide the pocket pair. Seems like a pot sized bet is overplaying TT in the BB.

10x seems a bit excessive preflop, but if that's how you like it I'd just ship the flop. FD's are never folding and you'll get calls from a lot of low PPs.
