Really? There's no reason at all to think Hero is behind and there are a lot of hands Villain might call with (draws, overcards, little pairs), Getting checkraised off the best hand isn't horrible b/c the draws that will checkraise have a lot of outs and most of the hands that checkraise have him crushed. Whatever he had Villain played it oddly. I think a bet is the best play given the flop action and turn check, and after the checkraise it's an easy fold.
I bet and, if called, check the river behind unimproved most of the time.
Edit - had Hero bet the flop, I would agree with a turn check.
