I have been getting great cards at this table all night preflop, so I have been playing a good deal more than I usually do. In the 10 hands previous to this one, I was dealt AA twice and AQo.

Villian (BB) is a 60/26/1.7 through 70 hands. He has been calling down light on a few hands. I took a couple of pots from him by c-betting with high pocket pairs. Once, I showed down 22 against him and won when a flush card came on the river. I have not seen him check-raise yet.

SB ($16.20)
BB ($50.85)
UTG ($33.55)
MP ($25.40)
Hero ($57.65)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.75</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls $0.50.

I decided that since I was on a run of good cards I would try a small raise preflop with JJ, but this is not my normal play.

Flop: ($1.60) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1</font>, BB calls $1.

Standard c-bet. I don't want to give him odds to draw to the flush.

Turn: ($3.60) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $7.5</font>, Hero calls $5.

Check-raise is definitely scary. However, I have the Jc in case another club hits. At this point, I'm definitely putting him on a flush (but not a high flush), straight, set, two pair, or garbage. However, would he play garbage and check-raise here?

River: ($18.60) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $30</font>, <font color="blue">Hero...</font>

What is the best play here?
