FWIW, my simulation showed that PIO check raises a Jack (one pair only) 3/4 of the time.
This is a very high percentage for c/r a one pair hand. That is strongly influenced by Villain's small bet size and the lowish SPR. PIO is prepared to play for stacks on a card below the jack on the turn with all of its Jx
I suspect many humans literally never check raise top pair here. The fact that we don't have much 2P definitely factors in here. We want to be able to check raise some of our no showdown draws like 43/64/63, and some double back doors like T9s with a BDFD, in order to balance that with strong hands, top pair is going to be where we get most of our value.
