There are two issues I have with how the hand was played.  I would not bet the flop as large as you did since you are going against a limper who called your raise so they are less likely to be very strong and will just fold out a lot against you that you would want to stay in.  Of course they could have Qx so you are just putting money in that seems to be called by better and folded to by worse unless they have some pocket pair that is small and not a 7 (which is very possible that they have pocket 5s or something like that).  I like betting here but I would rather bet something around half pot to potentially keep some crap in his range.

The last gripe I have is betting on the river there.  I am not sure how many hands will call us 3 streets when they do not have a Q or a 7 in their hand (yes we beat a 7 but not sure how likely that is).  I think this is a bet where you arent going to get called by worse and usually wont get called at all either but only get raised when they bluff or when they have it.  That puts you in a tough spot to make that call.  Some may say it is foregoing value to check there but I dont see a lot of 3 street calls with worse.  I would be happy with my two streets there since the board double paired there (especially since on the turn you correctly bet large since they called the flop and got big value).
