CO and Button are both very aggressive pre-flop and flop, but slow down on the turn and river. If he raised pre-flop, the button always raises a flop bet, so I know I'll get to 3-bet the flop by leading. With the flop action I was a little worried about JJ, and not afraid of overcards, so I took the check-call approach on later rounds. Was I being too weak? And should I have check-raised the river? I'm pretty sure this opponent would have called the raise.

I would put button on KK or QQ and CO on toppair or a flushdraw. Why cap flop and then check turn?

I would bet turn. IF raised I would think about "only" calling it down, depending on my read of their play.

should I have check-raised the river?

No, you should have bet the turn and river.

Bet the turn or at least the river...
