Comments on how this was played are appreciated. Was is possible to extract more in this blind battle? Maybe min raise the river? Thanks for comments!

Fairly standard I'd say. I don't know that there is much more you could have done. You could have bet the flop and he/she might have called with a queen suspecting a cbet, but most likely after you fire on the turn, they're going to shut down again.

I like. I check river aggression stats and if they're high on said opponent, a c/r is fine here. But with no reads a bet on the river is fine too.
