After getting 2 calls on this dry flop, I would actually play KJ like this on the turn... not necessarily to tarp but rather that I think there's an ok chance I'm actually behind and I'm not looking to get 2 more bets in.
And on the river I'm just calling with KJ. It makes zero sense to raise if we think we're up against a bluff (the only benefit to that would be that we don't have to show our hand, which isn't worth the risk). Yeah, I'll miss some value against QJ/JT, but I also don't own myself against better hands.
Facing a big bet in a big pot, methinks the majority of players simply call here with their Jx as most players (including myself) have a very common trait: MUBSYness.
