Default 20/40 4 handed - good move or spew?

UTG is a solid aggressive and thinking player. BB is loose but not completely horrible.

20/40 4 handed

UTG raises, I cold call on button with QJs, SB folds, BB calls.

flop: 4d6sTh

BB checks, UTG bets, I call, BB calls.

turn: 5c

BB checks, UTG bets, I raise, BB folds, UTG calls.

river: 6d

UTG checks, I bet.

I think UTG bets A high a lot on the turn, maybe other overcards occasionally as well. He also bets any pocket pair. BB could have called with anything on the flop, he's that kind of guy. I think BB is passive enough to have not raised a T or another pair though. So I raise the turn thinking BB is on nothing most of the time and UTG will fold ace-rag, some pocket pairs and occasionally overcards. UTG calls and I miss the river but the somewhat high chance of him still being on ace high makes this an easy river bet. How'd I do?

Oh and BB still being in the pot when I made this turn raise is key, it gives my raise a lot more credibility. I am only raising here 10-20% of the time when BB is not in the pot as I think UTG is much more likely to call me down when we're headsup on the turn.

I occasionally pull plays like this 4-handed too, but honestly, what hands that you beat are calling turn but not river? K7 or K3? Expect to get called and beat.

From time to time here UTG decides to fold the river UI, but not nearly enough to make this play correct.
