Default Re: Brand new to NL. - Is this standard?

Looks like three of the replies all differ in points of view. I have to agree with Death Donkey here. Your hand is really not that good especially when your getting called from behind with a 3x BB raise. Looks like the SPR is around 10 or 11 which is not really good on a TPTK type hand. You definitely need to keep the pot small after the turn card, so I would check it through and see how much he bets on the river.

The big bet on the river could be viewed as weak, but I think most of the time here you are behind. Plus had he made his straight or set, this big bet to imply weakness gets you to call.

Another words, the risk vs reward is not worth it given the amount of your stack size, and the amount you are willing to put in the pot. Keep the pot small.
