MY idea was to bluffcatch the river but that size looks bad ...

BB should check most of the time in such a dynamic board, so villains check doesn't mean much. I would also bet QJs here after BB checks, but with a smaller sizing, like 30-35% of the pot, because the hands you want villain to fold (most of them being flush draws) will not fold to a 70% pot bet. If they have nothing, they will most probably fold to a 30% bet as well. So I think under these circumstances betting big on the flop does not achieve much.

As played, I would hate my situation and fold on the river although villain has many bluffs.

Typically you don't use large sizings on mono flops, and even more so is the case likely in this situation.

So in mono flop is best to bet 33%? And then check the turn to bluffcatch the river?

Also note that the board is Q high, not A high or K high, which makes the villain more likely to have A or K.
