Final Pot: t720

This is an interesting hand. Obviously my play is not a problem here. But I was wondering if I could play it differently. If villain didn't think a long time for checking the river (in which case, there is possibility he sucked out and hit a queen), we probably split here. So I was thinking if an all in move (significant overbet) would work to try to push him off a hand that we split with? The downside is that we don't get value out of suspicious villain who calls with a jack here because he doesn't believe a bet check bet line. However, the possibility that he calls my normal river bet with a jack is small, because he probably thinks that I am value betting a king and I might suckout with a queen (both hands I would play the same way). But people still don't believe bet check bet line.

What do you think?
