3bet pot IP - totally clueless

UTG: $122.75
HJ: $208.21
CO: $200 (Hero)
BN: $206.24
SB: $200
BB: $200
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A 8 Q J
UTG folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to $6, BN folds, SB raises to $20, BB folds, Hero calls $14
Flop ($43.00) 9 J 8 (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks
Range: His range either hits the board pretty hard or totally misses it. Imo Villain will either check/fold or mostly check/raise. Against his range i see no point in betting to protect because i will have to bet/fold way too often and against AA i block one Ace and AA is less likely
Turn ($43.00) 9 J 8 3 (2 Players)
SB bets $30, Hero calls $30
Turn is pretty standard imo
River ($103.00) 9 J 8 3 4 (2 Players)
SB bets $40, Hero calls $40
OTR i have ABSOLUTELY NO clue what he could bet with this size.
I was totally new to the table and villain unknown

After you decided to check the flop I think calling turn and river is pretty standard. Whether or not to bet the flop or check back is debatable. I don't see myself ever folding this river without knowing more of how villain thinks/plays

Well if you dont have any clue after playing against him how come anyone else could help you? You didnt even provide his stats or say anything about tendencies. If he's a reg he might be block/thin vbeting riv. For me its a snapcall and if I ever see anything better than J8 here just make a note on his line, period.

You state that the river is the street where you have the least of a clue what to do.
But in fact this street is the easiest of all, I believe every other street is debatable. But on the river he has a profitable bluff with his air if you fold 28%, so given that QJ8 is in the top 72% of your range (I presume) you simply click call. If you had a better read on how he or the population plays you could fold/raise.

The only exception could be that you have to fold your entire range to a potbet so calling $40 would be 'milking'. But I feel that his range is way too wide in this spot for that.
