Live 5/10 at Commerce 200 bbs deep

I had sat down at the table pretty recently, maybe played 2-3 orbits. Villain is a young guy wearing headphones, has been opening a lot pre-flop, my guess is he's pretty good but I don't really have much information yet. In one of my first hands at the table I stacked him for 150 bbs after 3betting 97s vs his CO open. I flopped a flush draw, hit the flush on the turn and held up against his flopped set of tens (he called flop and shoved over my turn bet). So he'll undoubtedly have that hand on his mind, but I haven't played any other notable hands so far.

He opens to 35 in early position, I 3bet AKo to 105 in late position, he 4bets to 250 (eff. stacks 1800). I call.

Flop (515) JT3r
He bets 300, I call.

Turn (1115) JT3-9
He checks, I bet 275, he calls.

River (1665) JT3-9-6
He checks, I shove 975.

I wasn't sure of the best play at any decision point in the hand. I decided to 3bet because he was opening a lot and I had already showed a 3bet bluff. Once he 4bet I wasn't sure between 5betting or flatting. Even though I had 3bet bluffed already, I didn't think he'd go too crazy staking off after opening UTG.

On the flop I felt like it was a good flop for my range, I have good equity, and some showdown value, so I called (as I would often do with JJ or TT). I don't think folding is an option, but maybe I could raise? Once he checked the turn I was again torn between betting or checking and trying to get to showdown. I think my line looks very credible and it's hard for him to put me on a bluff, but it's not so clear which better hands I can fold out. Stack sizes are awkward as well, with about 1100 in the pot and 1300 back. I decided to bet small on the turn to set up a river shove, but after thinking about it more I don't think this makes sense unless I think I can make him fold an overpair at least some of the time. Given that I just showed down a light 3bet, that was probably too ambitious. Even though he shouldn't really take much from me 3betting 97s vs his CO open early on, the fact that it ended up being a huge pot will probably cause him to read a lot into it.

Thoughts on any street appreciated.
