Should I be leading this river?

i think you played this optimally really.

check calling is by far the best play.

if you lead and get raised, you have to fold.
with action on previous streets, 99-JJ are in villains range, and these hands are calling pretty much every time as well.

I think he could have a suited connector 78s, 56s and think his pair is good.

Give that man a beer.
