Unless his steal blinds % is like 35%+, I think you played this hand really well.

3-betting preflop is a really bad idea.. only worse hands fold. Using your position and letting him barrel seems like the best play because:
1. You are playing pot control in case he woke up with KK/AA here. 2. You get value from AK, PP type hands that will think they are good here.

I think betting for value on the river here is really thin. The scary board likely doesn't let AK call and I think AA/KK definately make crying calls. So checking behind is definitely where I'd lean.
