you can start betting flop to charge draws, check is fine too

you can still go for 1/3 pot on river i think

So lets start.First of all my preflop raise is wrong after his limp,i did by mistake clicking bet slider option..i should raise to 3.8-4bbs..Anyway,we go on flop,flop is very good for me..Top pair,top kicker and nut flush draw..he checks..i decide to check back as i dont think i will take any value here.My range and my hand is way stronger than him in this spot,so give him a chance to bluff me or hit something and stack him off...on Turn he checks again and i believe is standard bet,as Jack is possibly in his range,now he can call with 2nd pair,gutshots and flush draws as i checked flop, and also i must start take value from my hand..so i bet and he calls..River card is very strange card..it completes straights with 9T and AT,and it can give 2 pairs with QJ..He can have also some KJ,KQ even not much possible as he wouldnt check twice,but as i have only 4 hands of this villain i have no idea how he plays..so i decided to check back as i dont see many worse hands that i beat and i would get called..so would u value bet on river?and in general how u would play whole hand?

I agree that there aren't many worse hands that will call you on the river, so checking back is okay to me. Villain could also have a small flush (67h, 78h, etc). But I think since the turn brought the possibility for so many draws and two pair possibilities, it could be a good idea to bet bigger on the turn if you know there's a possibility of checking back the river. I think it's hard to realize this on the turn, but it's what I am seeing now. I guess that's the point of hand review :)

Iso raise size is fine here preflop vs a 17bb stack. If the limper had 22bb or more I'd iso to 3.5bb.

Flop check is fine, our hand does not need any real protection here so this is a great combination to check back so our check back range isn't completely capped. AK no heart I'd bet for sure.

River I'd make a very small bet of around 4-5bb to try and get a crying call out of a one pair hand.

I prefer bet-bet-bet in order to obtain more value no big bets but as minimum 1/2 pot each street.
Please hide results ;)

I would bet flop 40% - 50% pot, turn same as you maybe a little more.
Bet the river for value if he/she checks out of position, more than often shortstacks don't trap here.
