Default River line?

This one's been bothering me for a while and, while it's probably pretty standard, it's a situation that comes up quite often...

Usual Stars Euro-lunchtime crowd, BB is 22/10/1.2 over 175, with a 30% VPIP from the big blind:

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

River: (7 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero...</font>

And I *swear* I could hear Boz screaming at me not to wuss out coz of the third diamond :-)

So is this a b/c, b/f or, given that I've played a pretty obvious TPTK line, a check behind?

FWIW, if the villain's been collecting stats on *me* he'll have me at around 14/10/3, I've seen him call down with TP-poor kicker and worse and I've never seen him C/R. On the minus side I've had a few people let me bet their hands for them recently, so perhaps I'm coming over as a bit too aggro.
