Preflop in position I call 3xBB raise with AQs. On the flop I have some covered straight draws so I think my riase is okay. On the turn I did not hit but he bet so small that the call looks good, too. On the river I missed and fired out a bluff value bet. Dou you like my play?

Nah, I don't like this at all.

I'm not even a fan of calling the PF raise with AQ - too likely to be dominated by AK. I save my calls for AK, PP's, and mid rank SC in position.

But, that's me. In any case, without a read that he CB's often, I fold on the flop and wait for the next opportunity. I wouldn't call an inside straight draw with a couple of overcards "nice" - how do you know your overcards are clean?

Ditto for the turn and river bets - not cool IMO.

Sorry for the assessment.

Edit: Didn't read the board correctly - I see you have a double gutshot. Still say wait for a better spot, especially after the flop.

It looks like his bet on that turn is a blocking bet which says to me he wants to get to a cheap showdown. If you want him to fold, you have to go for it on the turn.

AFter you just call that weak bet on the turn, you have to check that river because you have convinced him you don't have a strong hand either and he should be williing to call down a rive bet.
