FT of Tricetops - How does river Q change his value vs. bluff range

BB: DKarolis: 1139461
HJ: mjbnOne: 201724
CO: Sekwens: 578612
BN: dawhiteninja: 636205
SB: SJ1985: 163998
DKarolis is a good reg, and really turning up the aggression on this FT.
Preflop (24000) (5 Players)
dawhiteninja was dealt 9 9
mjbnOne folds, Sekwens folds, dawhiteninja raises to 32000, SJ1985 folds, DKarolis raises to 80000, dawhiteninja calls 48000
ICM dictates I don't 4bet even if I think he's 3betting too much.... which he is. So IP I flat and I think this is fine.
Flop (184000) 6 5 2 (2 Players)
DKarolis bets 64900, dawhiteninja calls 64900
Obviously calling on this flop.
Turn (313800) 6 5 2 3 (2 Players)
DKarolis checks, dawhiteninja checks
He snap checks. And that raised slight alarm bells with a timing tell, as it wasn't something he had been doing. With that said I didn't know what to do here. I thought I very likely had the best hand, and I probably should bet for protection but in game I didn't want to face a check raise and have to fold because of ICM. So I thought I'd check behind and assess river. His range is very wide here and that's part of the problem I have here. It contains all sets, A4, and over pairs plus a ton of broadway. So I guess now thinking about it it's a clear bet as he's range is weighted to over cards? But bet folding here just seems horrid. Anyway!....
River (313800) 6 5 2 3 Q (2 Players)
DKarolis bets 211800
This is the major question for me. How does this river effect his range compared to a none 'scary' river say 5s. Does this Q add more bluffs and there for make it an easier call compared to if 5s landed? And what would you do in this spot?

Two discussion points:

1. Is it a protection bet on the turn?... What if you get check raised?
2. is it a call on the river?... And if he makes the same bet with more of a blank/no over card is it more or less of a call?

I'm assuming he can 3bet Ax4y for the basis of this post. (seen him 3bet Kx7y a few hands before) I'm also assuming he might go for a check raise with like QdXd on this turn. And I'm guessing he can value bet as wide as any set, Ax4y, QT+, QQ+. So how does this compare with his remaining hands left that are bluffs that snap check the turn?

Thanks in advance for your time!!
