Default 4 to a straight on the board, board pairs on river

I'm new to NL and I've never posted on this board before so be gentle with me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've been running into this situation a lot lately. For example, I've got AJ and board is 10, J, Q, K and river is another 10. Villian has been check/calling pot sized bets the whole way. Do you check behind on the river or value bet?

Obviously reads would help but as a general rule it seems to me it's best to check behind here right? About the only hands that you beat are worse straights and maybe two pair. A good player might even push with just an ace making you make a tough decision.
