I still think my check on the turn was an ok play.
Here is villain's likely hands:
1. set or a straight : he is betting on the turn and i think i can save some money folding
2. overpair (not JJ): i think he is folding to a value turn bet from me (if he calls he must think that all his money are going in on river). So by checking my value bet on river will get paid.
3. flush draw: this is where my check on turn is bad
It's a close call but i chose the conservative route cause i thought if all this money were going in i would likely be behind against this villain
