Villain is 16/11 after 20 hands (new to table). Everyone behind me appeared tight. Money was Top 216, but we're only down to 90 or so.

Folding pre is standard. Or at least make it 2.5x.

Postflop is fine.

please stop raising 3x. 2.5x or 2.2x. if your raising this wide make your raises 2.2x. you played it well postflop. im giving up on the turn but not folding that river. nh. oh bet more on flop like 60-70% of pot. strong when your bluffing, and will get your made hands paid off

Looks fine to me. As said previously, I'd prefer a 2.2-2.5x raise pf. But postflop looks awesome. NH.
