Default Run the chopped pot play?

Here's a spot where I decided to run the chopped pot play when the board paired 3's on the turn. Do you guys require more information before running this play?

I think perhaps a check/call, check/raise river all-in based on his bet size would be better. If he is value betting aggressively I can lay it down, but if it feels like Ax I can put in a big raise and take it down. In this hand, the timing of villain's turn call (very fast) made me think he probably didn't have a monster. He could also have the diamond draw which whiffed unless he had Kd Td. He may even lay down AK after that nasty river.

In the future, I think it is prudent to have more information.
