I've got a boat but wtf has he got?

I don't see how putting in 2 bets is any better than 3. You're screwed just about as much when he raises your bet vs. when he 3-bets your check raise. The only difference is the ratio between the bets you win and lose. 3:2 is better than 2:1, so checking the river is better unless he reacts amazingly different to a bet vs. a check raise (hint: he won't).

The decision really is between check calling and check raising. I think he has a ten or straight often enough to take the 3:2 deal. Calling a 3-bet hurts, but so does calling a raise if you bet. It's just cool when you get two bets out of KT or a straight, which won't happen if you lead after his turn cap.
