Hand is good enough to call. Could 3-bet as a bluff, but it seems fine.
I noted him as a reg today. Didn't know a lot about him when we played the hand.

This is a terrible board for him to c-bet, so I tried to take it down. Also expected a bunch of check/calls,, but we have no showdown value, and straight and barreling outs.

When he calls, I think he has bunch of one pair hands, usually with some kind of gutshot. 96/T6/98/T5/QT etc.
These hands probably call again on the turn, and fold on a brick river bomb.
Decided to overbet, because these hands will have a very hard time calling again, and being OOP. It's not a great spot for it, but this turn overbet has worked absolute wonders. Players give a lot of credit to overbets.

So we hit our dummy straight, and I'm unsure if I should bet for value.
He has some Jx in his range: J9/JT/.J7, but I don't think he c/c naked overcards with a Jack twice.
After his c/c, I think his range is weighted towards some two pair hands, pair+gutshot that filled up.
By betting here, we something fold a chop, and get a hero call out of the hands I mentioned.
I think it's also good to value bet pretty thinly here, because it will make it very tough for Villian to play similar spots.
But...
