I think this is a fairly interesting spot on the river where I'm not sure if I made the right play. This is the original raiser's second hand at the table so no reads or stats. Villain who flat calls my 3-bet is 24/10 over 21 hands, so pretty small sample. I decided to 3-bet as I didn't want loads of people coming in behind if I just flat, and I feel JJ is good enough to 3bet here, even though I know nothing about the original raiser's range. Do you think 3-betting here is fine? I think my post-flop play is OK, although maybe I could bet a little more on the flop and turn. On the river I decided that he would check behind everything that I beat and bet anything that I lose to so a check/fold was fine – what do you guys think? The only bluff I beat here is 76 and I really feel that JJ is just a bluff-catcher at this point.

Looks good. I agree flop and turn could be a little larger, but I wouldn't do too much more than you did. Good job having the discipline to fold river, there really isn't much for him to bluff with, even 76s may well not be in his cold calling range.
