Flopped a monster- how would you play it, and what to bet on river?

edited May 2011 in The Poker Clinic
So, villain is Greg, a notorious nit. Calling the 3 bet pre clearly indicates he has something big, and he is capable of slowplaying aces/kings, so my current hand range on him is JJ-AA (obviously AA is a tad unlikely) and AK/AQ (I think I have a laggy enough rep for him to call a 3-bet profitably with AQ here).

Flop is enormous for me- if he has KK/JJ I've lost value, if he has QQ all the money is basically heading to the middle whatever I do. Having top set made it very difficult for Greg to have a big enough part of the board to play back, so first decision- check calling I hoped would under-rep my hand, and perhaps look like KK. 

On the turn, I again wanted it to look quite weak, and leave it to Greg to carry on the betting- but he checks behind, ruining that plan. Should perhaps bet here?

With all that, what's the best bet on river for value? If I check, there is a huge chance now that he checks behind- I feel like he has KK/JJ here and is highly unlikely to put more money in, so I have to bet. How would you play this differently?

    Given you both checked on the turn I would be tempted by a large bet on the river made to look like a steal, possibly over the pot, maybe like £13. The hope would be Greg might may a hero call with KK or call thinking he was good with a big ace.

    You say he is a nit, and he says he is a fish.
    So, he probably calls your 3 bet pre with 10-J suited, and
    on sight of the flop, has chased a straight down to the river :-)
