I should add that, yes, QJs plays pretty well multiway, but it also plays well as a 3-bet in position heads up - you can still flop a lot of possibilities, and with the lower SPR and heads up, you can be more confident about playing a bigger pot with top pair.

I can see it, but the raiser c-betting even from OOP, I'd be more concerned that his range is tighter and stronger than would be for an IP c-bet. And this is a pretty dry board so there's not much to protect from (just an A or K). And I would definitely proceed with extreme caution after the 3-bet.

I mean, you're not wrong. Specifically, "putting him on a hand" with a very small combination of hands instead of considering the total range he might play this way (in particular imo, leaving out overpairs and sets), and overplaying a hand this deep even when you're sure you're behind and you will not have good equity when called-- unless you really think AQ / KQ would play this way and you can fold them out, you have 12 outs at best when called and often just two outs-- are pretty foundational leaks.
