PokerStars 50€ 25k GTD - Flat JJ 35bb [effective stack]

LJ: 30250
HJ: 28391
CO: 20274
BN: 122561
SB: 16406
BB: 20861
UTG: 22672
UTG1: 24260
UTG2: 30639 (Hero)
We are in 350/700/85.
UTG1 35bb
Hero 44bb
LJ 43bb

Middle stage of the tournament. Far away of itm.
Preflop (1050) (9 Players)
Hero was dealt J J
UTG folds, UTG1 raises to 1400, Hero calls 1400, LJ calls 1400, HJ calls 1400, CO folds, BN folds, SB folds, BB calls 700
I hadn't played many hands with them but I know UTG1 is pretty tight, something like 18/8 in over 110 hands and he has a raise first in early of 7%.

If I 3bet vs this player, the times he 4bet shove, I will not have an easy call of 30bb with JJ vs a guy who seems tight.

Well, 3bet is right most of the times, but here i liked to flat.
Flop (7350) 3 9 6 (5 Players)
BB checks, UTG1 checks, Hero checks, LJ bets 2100, HJ folds, BB folds, UTG1 folds, Hero raises to 6300, LJ calls 4200
Well, in this point, after UTG1 checks, I think I have the best hand most of the times. TT+ would bet most of the times in this spot vs 2 players, and sometimes maybe check/raise. AQ+ and some middle pairs like 77-88 would be playing check/call in this spot. Maybe ATs-AJo+, too.

LJ is a fishy, 25/8 in 95 hands and doing some random moves preflop in the last hands. His range has any broadway suited and non suited plus all the Ax suited and some Ax non suited. Middle and low pairs too.

My fear here is play for stacks vs 33, 99 and 66, so I liked to check/raise this spot the times LJ bet. I will know if UTG1 is slowplaying sets or QQ+ after this point.

If LJ check, I will bet 60% of the turns (The turns without clubs, Q, K neither A), and x/c all the other cards to x/f most of the rivers.

If after LJ bets and UTG1 calls, I will reraise. These times I think he will play for stacks with TT+ and sets and would fold his overpairs and middle pairs like 77-88 or less. It´s a risk, I know, because when he reraise allin my x/r, I will be facing sets and TT+, but I think x/c vs 2 players with overpair is give away my equity and x/r flop to do a fold whit those stacks is not good.

But UTG1 folds and vs a weak player like LJ I think the best line is bet turn and bet allin river.

Turn (19950) 3 9 6 K (2 Players)
Hero bets 7399, LJ calls 7399
River (34748) 3 9 6 K A (2 Players)
Hero bets 15455, and is all in, LJ folds
Final Pot
Hero wins 35513

My doubt here is: I like to bet Kh turn, but river ace is the problem... I´m not sure if it´s the best card to do a 3rd barrell. ¿Will you play different this river?

¿Do you think this hand, postflop, can be played different? Thanks all. :)
