Playing overpair heads up when river pairs...

Should I raise the river here when the rag pairs up?

The river didn't help you, unless you think he 3bet preflop with JT. There are more ways for him to have KK or QQ than JJ or TT, and as his turn raise could have been a flush draw/KQ semi-bluff, so I would have 3-bet the turn and called down after that.

i think this is a pretty easy call.

He actually did have JT, but I like your suggested line of 3-bet and then call down.
