Thoughts? Too weak/tight, or the right level of caution? The board just seems to get worse from street-to-street.

The check on the turn... i don't really know what to say about it. I guess it's OK to do, and i don't really know of any other way to play the turn. BET the river for value. Somebody with an Ace would more than likely have bet, somebody with a 5 wouldn't be scared by the ace and continue to bet. Your QQ is good here after seeing the turn action. You will get called by weaker hands here over 50% of the time I think, they will assume you're bluffing and call trying to pick you off with K high.

That flop is not particularly scary so I think you need to go ahead and 3-bet. After the turn gets checked through, you have to bet the river here.
