Particularly looking for opinions on river play. Villain has been on the table for a very short time, so no reads.

Pretty much 100% +1 this. The turn card is a great one for you to get stacks off 10x/KJ/KQ/Q9, so would happily bet the turn here with a view to getting it all in. To be honest, you're only worried about K10 and J10 here - if you've run into one of those two hands in this spot then it's just a bit of a cooler.
As played, I would shove the river and - irrespective of his river decision/result - note the hand for information later in the session.
obv bet turn, hitting draws is sooooooooooooooooooo hard(although villains hit them all too often imo) you might aswell put some money in the pot when you do hit one!!
villain's SN & stacksize makes him more likely to be a reg than a fish
dont like shoving river as i think you turn your hand into a bluff, AQ is quite literally the bottom of your range for 3betting the river for value
to people saying he can have Tx Q9 etc, how often do you see people check behind v strong but non nutted hands? on the turn theres 3straight 2flush board so any reg should be betting Tx (should be betting boats too but people do stupid stuff). i think if you shove you get called by 66 KT JT, possibly AT (but theres only 6 combos of that)
I played for a check-raise on the turn if i'm honest, any Kx might want to just take the pot down there since the Js is a bit of a scare card. It's also a great bluffing card if he was floating the flop imo.
