Villain VPIP ~25.
After his turn check I am fairly sure I am having the best hand and will get calls from JJ,TT,88.
edit: And I am blocking a stab at the pot since I showed weakness twice.

id probably check river and see what he does. just dont think you get looked up with worse hands very often.

Yeah, check that river. Also I'm cbetting t200 on the flop, but it's minor.

I check river but the blocking on river might save you a few chips so I kinda like it.

I check/call the river.
You are ahead the majority of the time, you allow villian to bluff/stab at the pot.
Villian that checks behind would probably not have called a lead bet anyway.
I think check/call gains more equity here then leading.
