Hell no.

Turn bet is fine because there are random 6x and 7x in villains range.

Check behind on the river - and be happy for playing a hand pretty much optimal.

Any reads on BB? If you raise river, what do you hope to accomplish?

ck behind, he folds nothing that beats you and isn't calling with worse. Ok, he might fold Q6 but it's kinda small part of his range

I think you should have bet less on the turn prolly half-pot or a bit more to cut off draws and keep the pot small. Definitely check-down the river and be glad you can keep the pot small.

The player could have been playing Acex-suited and made 2 pair on the river wanted you bet so he coudl Check-raise you or he was playing small PP and flopped a set and was slow-playing you and wanted to get you with a check-raise.

With the half pot bet it can be used 3-ways in this situation. First, it would cut-off draws, 2nd it could head off a bigger bet from the player in position, all while not gettign the entire stack involved with a medium pp and still making hte pot grow a but more for a little value.

I would use a half-pot bet here if out position, but most likely check behind if I were in position.

Nitpicking:
Unknown villain, he calls a shove here with 7x quite often IMO. I agree he never folds better. So shove would be a really thin valueshove.

OTOH if he has a fold button he can fold TT JJ but...

In any case bluffing is insane here and he doesn't have many worse hands he calls with so obviously check behind.
