there is one other option which is to checkraise the river when he bets. the main benefit might be he will now dump a Q or even a weak K rather than tolerate the embarassment of calling one more bet having been played so badly. since the player is a young hot shot type who might pride himself in how good he plays this has an extra chance of working. and even if he does call (presumably with a better hand, but who knows sometimes maybe not) the whole table now sees that youve made a crude strange play that will make an impression on them and serve to confuse them on later hands.

Good post.

I like this line or even just betting better than check/calling or check/folding in this spot.

The way the hand played out, when you check the river, he (and everyone else at the table) knows damn near exactly what you have. Whether you call or fold afterwards is really pretty immaterial after you get to this point.

I think a check/call or a check/fold in this spot does some serious damage to your image/meta-game.
