$7 Turbo - 3Bet pot 2nd pair facing 3 streets of aggression

Did I play this well? Villain has been min betting a lot on flops, turns and rivers. I'm pretty sure he's a fish/not so good of a player.

Here's one example hand of his play:

PokerStars - $6.71+$0.29|10/20 NL (2 max) - Holdem - 2 players

SB: 1,510

Hero (BB): 1,490

SB posts SB 10, Hero posts BB 20

Pre Flop: (pot: 30) Hero has 6 2 

SB raises to 40Hero calls 20

Flop: (80, 2 players) A A 6 

Hero checks, SB bets 20Hero raises to 70SB raises to 120Hero calls 50

Turn: (320, 2 players) T 

Hero checks, SB bets 20Hero calls 20

River: (360, 2 players) Q 

Hero checks, SB bets 20Hero calls 20

[Villain shows: A9]

*****

So here's the actual hand I wanted to ask about, did I play this well?:

PokerStars - $6.71+$0.29|20/40 NL (2 max) - Holdem - 2 players

BB: 1,970

Hero (SB): 1,030

Hero posts SB 20, BB posts BB 40

Pre Flop: (pot: 60) Hero has T Q 

Hero raises to 80BB raises to 120Hero calls 40

Flop: (240, 2 players) Q 4 A 

BB bets 240Hero calls 240

Turn: (720, 2 players) 3 

BB bets 220Hero calls 220

River: (1,160, 2 players) 6 

BB bets 340Hero folds

I really don't think that this sort of semi passive villain is capable of barreling 3 times with air on this kind of board and the river non all in bet was just so fishy that I had to fold. What do you guys think?

If he hasn't been 3betting

If he hasn't been 3betting and hasn't bluffed I think this is good enough. But odds are so good, if he's been out of line at all or done some weird bluffs or played big value in a different way 1-2x (first example hand kind of shows he's played big value differently, but I'd probably want another instance in a single game), then it can easily be a call. Beat a lot is a given, but you can be beat a lot but still be better off calling than folding.
