Flopped set, possible straights or flushes on the river

Pacific Poker - 250/500 Ante 60 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP+2: 13,730
CO: 31,342
BTN: 39,680
SB: 32,180
BB: 57,304
Hero (UTG): 28,980
UTG+1: 27,270
MP: 27,418
MP+1: 111,090

9 players post ante of 60, SB posts SB 250, BB posts BB 500

Pre Flop: (pot: 1,290) Hero has J♥:J♠:

Hero raises to 1,000, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN calls 1,000, SB calls 750, BB calls 500

Flop: (4,540, 4 players) A♣:J♣:6♥:
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 2,270, BTN calls 2,270, fold, BB calls 2,270

Turn: (11,350, 3 players) K♥:
BB checks, Hero bets 7,491, BTN calls 7,491, fold

River: (26,332, 2 players) 7♥:
Hero ??? <== check/bet If bet, how much and why? If check, is it x/f or x/c?

I registered to this tournament 45 minutes in -- it allows nearly 3 hours of late reg.
Starting stack 30,000 chips, 12 minute blind levels

I have decent showdown value, opponents have been passive to this point.

Secondary question:
Is the pre-flop/flop & turn play OK?

Thanks!

Think you played this perfectly.

I would be happy to go broke on the river I would personally shove river I doubt he has hearts there if he has straight unlucky imo often gonna see two pairs here I think

Pretty standard hand. I would shove the river as well for value.
Flush and straight isn't to likely in the BTN his flop calling range.
Only think you could do is raise a little bit more pre-flop, but I would only do that with passive villains at the table.

Cheers,

well if may helps if you think about the likelyhood of getting a hand on the river that beats you. set over set is per se unlikely. If it happens so be it. Its the same with bdfd or bdsd. The likelihood of having it is this small you just play as it were not there at all.
