1/2-60S: JTs pretending to be ace 1/2-60S: JTs pretending to be ace

OK, guys, we're playing a 2-60 spread game, which means bets are capped at $60. It's Minnesota where you can bet $500 a hand on blackjack, but these are the rules for poker.
It doesn't really matter though because HU the bets don't escalate quickly enough. Main question is whether I should bother making the 3rd barrel or if it's spew. Comments on other streets welcome.

So...a tilting shortstack straddles for $4 and I make it $12 on the button with JT. The SB, a female asian player who is reasonably sentient but typical live player, calls and everyone else folds.

The flop is AA4 (pot $25)
She checks and I make a bet of $10. She calls.

Turn: 5 (pot $44)
She grabs a medium sized stack of chips as if to say "I am calling" before checking. I decide this is an act, so I bet $30. She thinks for a while and finally calls.

River 3 (pot $104)
Check, hero...?

why did you be so little OTF?

she probably was thinking about donking turn, rather than calling. if she did this and then tanked before calling, she probably had a draw OTT. hearts or diamonds are more likely than a SD. the 3 only completes draws that contain a 2 or 67, which is a tiny part of her range.

unless she gets tricky with hollywooding, i barrel river $60.

stacks are near $200. But the $60 bet cap might be more relevant - e.g. to why I might bet small on the flop.
