End of action spot having 2 pairs

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $8.28
SB: $5.14
BB: $6.37
UTG: $5.03 (Hero)
MP: $3.22
CO: $5.00
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is UTG with A Q
Hero raises to $0.15, MP calls $0.15, CO calls $0.15, 3 folds
AQs is an easy open from the EP not much to comment here. V
Flop ($0.52) 2 Q 6
Hero bets $0.33, MP folds, CO calls $0.33
I have a v bet here with TPTK expecting to be called by worse Qx and underpairs. Not sure about sizing though - in a headsup pot I would prefer to go for a lower sizing not sure about multiway situation.
Turn ($1.18) 2 Q 6 A
Hero checks, CO bets $0.57, Hero calls $0.57
After being called by a CO (unknown player) and on a turn scare card I expect that if I bet I fold too much of his range leaving only very strong hands so decided to go for a check - my hand doesn't need protection and I can induce some bluffs from a wider range.
River ($2.32) 2 Q 6 A 2
Hero checks, CO bets $2.22, Hero calls $2.22
Here facing a pot size bet I expect him to have some sets although 2c reduces the amount of them. On the other hand I don't see a much worse hand that might be bluffing here. I expect all Qx to have enough SDV to be checking. The question is how many Ax is he capable of calling a flop cbet with. I need around 33% equity here and I wonder if I really have so much? Vs a range of 66,22 and some kind of KQs or AJs I have a breakeven call. If I add 6 combos of hands like TT I'm actually way ahead. Thanks for comments

Nice induce line sir. We are too near the top of our range to fold river even to a pot sized bet. Unfortunately I also don't see many natural bluffs that Villain could have here. Should discount AA and QQ combos since he flatted pre. Guess we have to pay off the set if he has it!

Looks good. I know that the river sizing isn't ideal but keep in mind that you check called the turn in order to get villain to bluff so when he bets this size you're under-repped and are usually going to be folding hands like Qx.
