He's a frequent blind stealer but you have no other reads? I don't like PF unless you have some idea of how he plays...everyone opens the button light.

I bet more on the flop but play the rest pretty similar I guess. His bet on the river is a little scary...hard to put him on a strong hand the way he played it.

Not sure what we beat on the river. I mean I can't see him vbetting QJ here very often. And there aren't many draws on the flop.

[Chicago Twister]

Hero checked twice, lots of weaker hands could either vb at the end or turn thier hand in to a bluff. This is in fact one reason why hero should check the turn.

I would bet a little more pf and more on flop, rest is fine.

What 3bet-calling range did you put him on?
If it's the "default" TT-QQ;AQ it's pretty much JJ/QQ on the river so a call there is fine
Not sure if I like the turn check given his possible range

[Mossberg]

flop bet size is fine imo.

I could go either way on the river depending on reads/flow -- it would really help to have an idea of how light he is calling 3bets with position. Also, can he vbet this river with QQ? Without a read, I think it's probably best to just let it go. If you have any reason to believe that he could be "value"betting less than QQ, or turning a weak made hand into a bluff, then it obviously shifts over to a call. TBH though, his river bet-sizing doesn't look at all like a made hand turning into a bluff.

If you don't have a good enough feel for how this guy plays, then I don't think you should be 3betting this preflop in the first place.
