If he is the type to look at this turn and fear you have trips or a straight and check back a hand like JJ's then I do not like a CR. His betting range will be much too strong and much too thin too attack. I'm going to extrapolate that if this turn scares him, he is going to also give up on bluffs.
If he is the type to bet the turn and then respond with Mubsyness, now we might be talking. you probably don't need to fear getting 3 bet often against this player type.
I think calling this turn and donking improvement would be my default absent the specific info I'm looking for to make a play.
This is actually the opposite and if an opponent is checking back a hand as strong as JJ, it means that their betting range on this turn card will be "bluff" heavy (depending on what they deem is a "bluff" in this range).
To extrapolate further, if he's afraid of betting JJ on the turn for fear that you've trips or a set, why bet AA? If he's not betting AA, then what is he betting?
I'm not using this as a justification for xr on the turn, but it is important to think about what removing value hands actually does to someone's range.
