Villain is 33/9, pretty aggro postflop and has shown down a couple bluffs but nothing major. Also he is the type of player who doesn't make many thin value bets, which was one of the reasons why I looked him up. This is never a bare Q, and I wouldn't expect him to show me a set or two pair given the line he took. I also tend to think he would just make a standard value bet with a real hand as opposed to pushing, as most players wouldn't even consider calling his bet without a near nut hand. I'm only really fearing TJ, but that's a bit unlikely considering I have two J's in my hand. I'd be a bit more worried about a 7x diamonds hand that backed into a straight if anything, but again I think he would make a smaller bet if he had the hand he was representing.

The reason I bet the turn (probably too small in retrospect) was because I put him squarely on a draw, and if he did have a queen, this would probably net me a free showdown if neither of us were to improve on the river since I think he would check behind any Q type of hand on the river. Therefore making his river bets easier to decipher as a bluff or not.

Thoughts?

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
villain's hand could be Ad7d but, given your read, I obv don't hate the call
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

As much as your reasoning makes a lot of sense, you have to be right like 40% of the time and I feel like with Ad7d and JT, or maybe even playin you, you can't be that sure.

Your turn bet is too weak imo.

As played, I really don't think your good often enough. fd missed, oesd hit.. 76s/87s makes sense too (floating with gutshot). I agree that sets/2p/top pair are very unlikely here.
