Opponent is 32/13/5 in about 90 hands. No personal history with him. I was playing about a 20/17 and I believe it was only the second time I 3 bet in this session. Fold to C Bet is 25 for him. So I was debating about just barrelling again on the turn. But then I thought maybe I can just see the river for free, and if he bet it seemed he then would have a hand he'd like to build a pot with. Then the river is such a blank I thought a shove probably wouldn't get him off anything. Thoughts on play of the whole hand are appreciated. Thanks-

I think you played the hand ok.
I would have bet more on the flop, maybe even pot, with the intention of shoving if raised.
As played I think you can just check fold the river.

Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback, much appreciated. Yes the c bet amount was something I was questioning myself as well.

I've been thinking about it since, and now I'm not sure if my advice is any good.
Trying to figure out what he can have.
QQ I think 4 bets pre. Maybe JJ too.
99 probably raises the cbet as does QJ
KT might flat but can raise the cbet.
JT probably flats.
AQ probably flats.
The turn check might look like weakness to him, but regardless I think he bets with all of these hands and maybe some draw hand like AT.

Yeah I was going through trying to figure out what hands he's just call the 3 bet with, just call the flop bet with and then half pot then turn with. Seems like something he really is going for value with and not just hoping to get to showdown with cheaply. So I was thinking the strongest part of his range he'd be playing this way mostly, at least those were my thoughts.
