I like a check here to see what happens on the river. I think by betting here you fold out worse and get CR'd by better, which isn't ideal considering you have some solid showdown value.

i agree with the check. The only cards that we are really worried about on the river is the J K or A. If he had us beat on the flop the he still has us beat and we are drawing to two outs. If he had a hand like A9s, i think this is in his calling range pre and on the flop, the we are again drawing to two outs. He is never folding anything that beats us and is almost never calling with something that we beat. The only hand that we could possibly getting value from is J10, and i do not know that he is calling that often on the turn with that hand and if so he does have a lot of outs to beat us, so i think playing pot control is best.

Check :
- to control the size of the pot, not to get check raised
- to try to see a cheap showdown because your hand has showdown value here

Pretty easy check. You're beat here almost always.
