2NL spot - Donk flop w/ 2p on river

Blinds: $0.01/$0.02 (4 Players) BB: $2.07
CO: $0.84
BN: $2.00
SB: $2.98 (Hero)
BN on his first orbit, auto-rebuy is on. Has not gotten out of line (albeit within 5 hands).
Preflop ($0.03) Hero is SB with J K
CO folds, BN raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.05, BB folds
Flop ($0.14) 2 J 9
Hero bets $0.08, BN calls $0.08
I'm not a fan of donk betting in most cases but here I thought it was worth it. It would only have to work 36% of the time and I still have equity when called (Ax with Ah, with JT, QJ sometimes too). Sure I'll get raised occasionally but on a board this wet I'm not expecting BN to bluff raise an unknown player so I'd be alright with folding.
Turn ($0.30) 2 J 9 K
Hero checks, BN bets $0.18, Hero calls $0.18
At this point I figure I'm either way ahead or way behind. I think check/call is best here because betting will likely get rid of all that hands that I got value from on the flop, several of which will bet here as my check looks like I bluffed the flop and gave up when I was called.
River ($0.66) 2 J 9 K 5
Hero checks, BN bets $0.46
So here we are. The nuts is in his range for sure, same with QT but I think there are a decent amount of bluffs here too. Plenty of stuff that knows it can't win with showdown, so checking isn't a great option. Getting almost 2.5:1 so I need to win 37% of the time. Thoughts?
