I think a better comparison would have been if the river was a King. Its one of those things where if you see the second card come out, its even less likely that villain is holding one of those in his hand. In that case, he might think his jacks are good.
yeah I though about faking it and pairing the board on river so that it would be a closer parallel (btw obv don't mean to hijack and be like ZOMG I BLUFFED SOMEONE EAT IT...)

But I posted it as an example of a hand where I put villain on a similar hand to mine and felt that shoving would obviously fold out the worse ones but could also fold out the better ones.

If we imagine that villain has AA (unlikely line admittedly), JJ or 99/88/etc descending on the river of the hand where I posted (and never checks with a set) then I think the situation is very similar to your hand.

A better parallel would've been if I'd been the one with JJ in the hand I posted, the board pair K's on the river and I had shoved w JJ, hoping to fold out QQ and AA once in a blue moon.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
