Preflop
Yes this is a little loose. I would generally need at least KJo or QJs to open here.

Flop
Both checking back and small C-bet are reasonable options here. The hand dont need a lot of protection, since the only overcard, that can come, is an ace. The most important is, that your plan for the hand involve checking back either flop or turn. Unless of course you bet the flop and hit another Q on the turn. This is fine to go bet, bet, bet.

Turn
Since you bet flop, turn is a check back for pot control.

River
In general the idea, when we play this pot control game, is to call a river bet. You have not shown a lot of strength in this hand by making a small C-bet on the flop, which he called closing the action (SB had already folded), and then check back the turn. The turn card was bad and completed a lot of draws, but the river card was good, since it cut out 1/3 of his top pair combos. It would be better to have a club in your hand, but you do at least block the straight having one of the four jacks.

So I think, this one is at least close, and if you never bluff catch in these kind of spots, you are probably being run over quite a bit. It is a somewhat large sizing, but you still only need to win this like 30% of the time, and you are giving your opponent a ton of credit for always having a hand, that beat you here. You are essentially assuming, he will never attack weaknees but only bet the river for value with trips or better.
