 You played it fine i think.

The only thing i might do differently is bet a little less on the flop and turn, but river check was good. After he pushes it looks like J-x/FH (Missed FD is possible, but not as likely as the other hands). Nice fold.

I might check the turn here. His stats are funny, but that doesn't mean he's going to call you down light on three streets. You give a free card to a f/d or lower pair, but you can then bet/fold or check/call river.

Hand is kinda tough if he bets turn.

 What about a blocking bet on the river?

 lets bet 10-12 on the river and fold to a raise if we think he has Jx here more than a mid pp or flush draw.

 Even an AF of 2 would find a raise somewhere on the flop or turn with trip jacks, wouldn't they?

I think I make these hero calls too much, where I check and "induce a bluff" and put villain on a missed flush draw, for such an overbet.

I probably call here, but that might not be the best play. I also check this turn for pot control.
