Default too thin?

His river bet is so small I didn't think he could be betting anything better whereas until then I was worried about some junky full house or a filled up set

I'd pop it up PF almost always, only rarely limp.

Flop and turn seem fine and good.

River, I'd probably pounce on that bet too. Pretty weird bet by him if he has a full, since he's losing a ton of value most of the time from your Qx.

KQ? QJ?

Meh, I dunno if those are enough of his range, and I might just be putting him on those hands because a) I beat them b) he might call.

I don't see how this is very relevant. Even if he did get there with the flush, why is he betting so small? A flush has the same value as bottom set turned into full house.

As far as preflop, I think limping is fine, I raise sometimes. I always raise here with AK. It obviously looks much worse here since I can't narrow his hand range at all, but considering he limped in LP I think we know he's awful already, so I'm not sure if any narrowing could be done even if I did raise.

well I don't think he has the flush, but he's likelier to call with JJ if he didn't think you got there.
