I'm not a huge fan of turning our hand into a bluff here. I think that we have enough showdown value to just check behind. I think the check behind on the turn also would lean villain towards a call, as you are polarizing river. The jack is also a card that can give some hands without showdown value on the flop or the turn enough to call a river bet. From villain's standpoint, you can also have a fair amount of draws on flop that need to bluff him off of showdown.

it's bad, you have plenty of worse hands to bluff with such as busted spades and 56s
