Obviously a great flop and betting the right amount for balance here but as you noticed turn is pretty much the worst card in the deck. Every draw completed (QJTx and flush) so we can't bet this turn card at all, but we can call, though given how villain checked this turn card, maybe not against him as he really should be betting this turn with 100% of his range.

Given he checked behind , some people might do this with a straight, but obviously they will do it with bluff catchers as well like top 2, lower sets etc.

I think you have to bet this river but not much. Villain can't have a flush here, so you're losing to a straight or villain was slow playing a set of kings on the flop and hated the turn so I am probably betting whatever I would bluff with on the river for balance. If villain has something he calls irrespective of bet size.

A river check could also work since checking turn and river suggests we have nothing at all so we might get a desperation bluff. This is a good line to take against players to keep them in check in future from bluffing if they know you snap call bluffs after checking multiple streets.

But really I would rather bet this river and if villain folds, it leaves him guessing to what we had.
