Good? Or should I CR?

This is a pretty common spot which I am usually kinda unsure about.

generally I check on relatively dry boards because most of the time even the passive ones will fire some kind of bet. Checkraising gets you the extra c-bet every time you take it down. Donking in will only scare off marginal holdings.

Even with that small sample of reads, I'd go for a check-raise on this dry board.

lead out. why would you check this board when they may have QJ peel off a turn and now you are losing.. also by checking you are telling villain that you have either completely missed or have a monster.. this is not a spot to check... if the board was 3 7 K rainbow board then you could check this..

thank u for restoring order... i was shocked when i saw people suggesting c/r. We're not interested winning the cbet, we're interested in his stack. So i'm putting him on AK or AA and hoping for the best /images/graemlins/grin.gif if he folds... meh.

I never slowplay in spots like this. IMO, if you want money in the pot, you have to do it yourself. Well played.

Villain is very rarely checking qj here. Personally I think the board is too dry to b/3bet, but if villain is type to raise donk leads I'm all for betting into him.
