Tough river decision

When I am up against an unknown at small stakes assume they are a bad player rather than a good player. Not sure if thats the best way to think about it, but oh well.

I agree (to an extent), but this doesn't necessarily help the decision whether to call. IMO, it's bad play to passively call nearly pot sized bets on the flop and turn with QJ, in the hope of getting paid off big if you hit. If Hero pays off, this bad play is rewarded.
