It all depends. The following questions will help you, on your quests to play better poker.

What range of hands will villain, call 3bet pre-flop, check flop, bet 30% pot on turn, then check-raise allin on river for value?
What range of hands, will villain be bluffing on river?
How many hands are we behind?
How many hands are we ahead of?

I don't think you can bet that big on the river, I would say half pot as a maximum given your range is so strong and villain really can't call with much. When he raises just fold.

Another question is What worse hands call your river bet?
Imo river is check back.
