Default JJ - Overcall on river?

I'm always unsure about river folds like this. The pot's big and I later regreted the fold. Thoughts?

READS
MP3 is unknown, only read on him is his played 3/5 hands thus far

UTG is loose/passive - 40/3/0.5 after 340 hands

Bet the river, fold to a raise.

Your check on the river portrays weakness and invites a bet from a player(s) you may have beat. And UTG, seeing this confusion may assume that MP3 is stealing and call for one more with something like a small pair.

Just my $.02 worth...

Definitely a scary river and I like the check/call. You're getting 11-1 from the pot. make the call.

I think c/c is better than bet/call. What do you expect to call our bet here that doesn't beat us?

c/c allows the flush draw to bet at us if this was MP3. To be honest I am not so happy about the overcall but I think getting the odds you are getting you can call.

If I was playing I would probably have folded, thought about it, then wondered why I would have folded.

I would have been annoyed if the pot was lost because I folded a winner but I don't think it would have been a HUGE error.

I probably end up check/calling.
