Default Another 6max wsop hand

Hopefully this one won't be so trivial as the last one...

I am at my 2nd table of the day.

I had been at the table for about half a level and had been pretty ABC in terms of tightness and aggression. Table didn't seem as soft as my previous one and we were scheduled to break, so I wasn't going to risk too much unless I got in a good spot.

Blinds were 100-200 a25.
SB was virtually non-existant and BB had a decent stack and seemed like he sort of had a clue.

I opened on the button for 575 with 54s and only BB called.
I start the hand w/ 5500 and he has me slightly covered.

Pot is 1400.

Flop is J95r.

He checkcalls 600.

Turn is 8 and it goes check check.

River is 5 w/ no flushes possible and he leads for 700.

What's the plan?

I have 4325 left.

I raise big to try to make it look like I'm bluffing over such a weak lead. Probably just stare at his bet about 3 seconds and go all in. If he trapped you with such a small bet with a set or Q10 I tip my hat.

Yea I would make a big raise too, hard to put you on a big hand, since most aren't checking behind on a board of J985, could easily look like a bluff and decide to call you with whatever he was value betting.

I'm not sure what worse hands are calling a raise of any kind.

I think plenty may put him on a huge bluff after making such a weak value bet on the river. People bluff in these spots all the time.

Oh yeah, I mean obviously raise. I'm just saying I think we're rarely getting called.

I think he'll fold a high % of the time but I think shoving is the best way to get chips. It's also player dependent to some extent, against a good player I'd shove all day, against a tight or bad player that isnt likely to make a big call I might make a small value raise but it seems like a very transparent play. When you shove your range seems to go to overpair or better (which given your line is somewhat unlikely), or nothing which might induce a call from any pair hopefully.

So then we should always raise if we have nothing in this spot?
