Why would you bet the river for value here after you've just seen the two worst possible cards you could get on the turn and the river. I think you played it fine. After watching the top card pair the board on the turn and then an overcard spike on the river I'm getting to showdown as fast as possible.

Think about the opponent your facing. He's not the preflop aggressor. He bet a flop that looks like it may have missed everyone, he showed no aggression when TP pairs up. His likely holdings are fairly bland to weak at this point. To him the J pairing is fairly scary.

When you bet the river he will call with many hands that do not beat you, he will call with several that will beat you but he won't raise most of those.
