Don't have really any info on villain other than he looks taggish over very small sample. he's 27/20 over 15hands.

Given his flop sizing i could certainly check raise to put him in a tough spot but i'm only repping QT/77 as strong made hands, as i would 3bet TT some % of the time and QQ nearly always, so he could easily put me on a draw if he's good at hand reading.

Same reason as for the flop, no point raising here as i would have done it on the flop with my strong made hands.

This really looks like a blocker bet to me.. i guess he could have Axhh that rivered but i'd expect him to show up more often with some weak Qx that's going to have a hard time calling on the river. I also block KJ that could go for a smaller bet trying to get called by a Q.

Your flop/turn play is good. I d rather c/r either weaker or stronger hands OTF esp as if you c/r and don t get everything in OTF turn river can be quite awkward as you sitting there in a bloated pot with MP2K.
River is interesting. Kx is the natural hand to turn into a bluff here however I think you are facing a range of like AQ+ a large amount of the time. I doubt he s bluffing that often and you block AhKh. If you where playing against villains that where strong enough to make a tight laydown this can be a good play but Id rather not have the FD. Even against better villains though I bet you get looked up a lot cause of the FDs missing.
Not many hands you can rep that would play like this here. Basically only something like AQ or AT, KJ some of which wouldn't have come to the river like this and some of which you probably aren't even CR since he isn't capped here and can essentially have any nuts. Also vs a basically unknown I think it's never a bluff since we can't say for sure if he's a callingstation or whatnot.
Turn raise I don't like at all.
I quite like leading here rather than CR as we take initiative, and if we get raised then we have a strong enough draw to shove, where as if we CR we often get called rather than raised and that makes the turn harder to play as the pot is bloated and your allin equity drops.
I think if we led pot then he is more likely to flat the flop, but a small bet often will get raised lighter here.
You crush his range.
Calling turn is fine as played.
You block-bet OOP. He can check back if he wants to.
I think the raise is okay. Your opponent seems kind of spazzy and I doubt he knows you're only really repping KJ.
