I like a 3-bet on the flop.

too dry imo. unless you know villan will always call with something like KQ or whatever, then i think this is spewy.

i think you played it fine op. although i might find a value bet on the river (folding to a raise).

What about check/calling on the river to possibly induce a bluff, or value bet from a worse hand?

Wow, lots of bad advice here so far.

I'll add mine to the pile of poop.

Flop is fine, don't even think about 3-betting or jamming without a read.

Turn check is fine, it appears he's weak though it might be a check to induce your bet on the river.

River I think bet/fold or check/call is fine for lines -- I tend to lean towards check/call as I think its a relatively thin value bet given the range of hands that call you (certainly appears he has a busted draw). The other thing is if he checks behind you'll have the info on what his hand was so you can make a note which is nice for the next time he raises your flop bet.

block bet the river.. around 1/2.. then fold to a raise.

What if you check, and villan make a full size bet on the river? do you think you can call that?
IMO, block bet has more value in the long run.
