($20/180) BB Bubble hand, please help!

[Metnut]

First, if someone can explain to me how to use the hand converter, or link me to one that works I'd appreciate it. I spent 20 minutes trying to convert the hand and everytime it converted, id get about 4-5 lines as an output and when i pasted that into the message board the necessary information was not there.

About the hand, 19 people left, me and villain have been the two most LAGish people on the table. If anyone can help here, I'd appreciate it, because I'm not sure how good my line is, especially on the river.

Metnut: checks
Failing: checks

My thoughts: He's been laggish enough that if i bet out, he might raise me with overs or who knows what and I'm not really in the mood to call an allin here. I'd much rather check raise here if possible, to get maximum value + folding equity.

*** TURN *** [Tc 2h Jh] [5s]

Metnut: bets 4800
Failing: calls 4800


*** RIVER *** [Tc 2h Jh 5s] [3h]
Metnut: bets 8000

My Thoughts: I think a bet here isn't horrible. If he loses this hand he goes out on the bubble, I think I have a lot of FE on this bet, but the problem is that I'm not really sure if I'm value betting or bluffing here.

If anyone can help me out here I'd appreciate it. Thoughts on all streets welcome.
