Its a bad bluff cuz you would never check your strong hands on the turn
Had you bet the turn and river, I would say its fine - repping super strong hands only and can get alot of folds there
Turn is probably mandatory check after bigger bet flop.
River isnt great. This is a good card for your opponent and bad for you. You probably have less than 10 combos of JT and 7x. You are fine by only bluffing QJ balance wise. At 10nl, you might win by checking a very small percentage. With such a big bet, I think vilain would to fold way stronger than Q9 to make it worth, but a smaller bet is too easy to get called by everything. Bet check bet is a line that microstakes like to call down.
I dont think its a bad bluff
