Are you betting for value or are you bluffing? If you can't do either, you should check
In this spot, there are only a small amount of worse hands that will call and a lot of better hands - so you're not making a value bet
Almost no better hand is folding so you're not bluffing.
Checking back allows you to potentially make a straight and value bet the river. Or get to showdown cheaply with your showdown value
