Villain is 11/11 for 18 hands. Last orbit, same positions he opens 3x, I 3bet, he 4bets and I 5bet. He folds.
The guy cold calling from my right was a HUGE whale, sitting it with 52/8/3 in 60 hands. I MIGHT sometimes fold this if the SB would've folded. Definitely looked to play pots against the whale, so PF defend standard imo.
Flop call standard as well, folding would be obv too weak. However, turn is where the decisions come bit harder. In general, I don't know what should I do in these spots. River feels like a miracle card. He's representing quite the strong value-range here and most likely AA/KK will check back the river. Usually you'll see people making hero calls if you just donk lead the river in this situation. Either way, I was looking to snap call the river whether I've checked it to him. I just feel that we're leaving so much value on the table by not shoving there.
IMO, the turn play is debatable, and I'd really like your comments on that.

I am no expert, I am on tilt, I have a downswing but i like to write my opinion. 
I think there is no problem with defending QJo. but i don't call turn. from his view, it is clear that you hit something otf, top pair, set of 6 or double/single gut shot. You can't have QQ so he will not fold his set. at this point, if i am not holding 79 or flush draw i fold at turn. Because there are too many combos which beats my top pair. If he checks turn, i can bet/fold river.
