yea, its a tough situation, because no matter what your play you make it very easy for the villian to make the best EV decision.

also agreed that 3 betting is the worst option vs most decent players, for the same reasons you mentioned.

so it comes down to leading the river or check/raising. (i think check calling isnt great unless you are vs a good / tight player, as vs normal players you are +50% to win the hand and the villian will not fold on the river to your c/r with any of the aforementioned hands) i think my default is to bet the river and call a raise vs an average to unimpressive player, since its possible he has some J hand and will check behind.
