Fairly tough river spot

BN: RENA79: $140
SB: Hero: $500
BB: Golfdish: $500
UTG: laitvik: $567.51
HJ: leynse: $524.33
CO: grossiegros: $384.55
Villian is running 37/24/13 over a small sample

Preflop ($7.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt Q Q
laitvik folds, leynse raises to $15, grossiegros folds, RENA79 folds, Hero raises to $52.50, Golfdish folds, leynse calls $37.50
Against a NIT (not a KNIT, Mush), I might call, but against a guy this loose, obvious 3-bet.
Flop ($112.50) J 2 K (2 Players)
Hero checks, leynse bets $35, Hero calls $35
Common spot in which I don't really know how to split my range
I don't think I'd ever check AK/AA, sets here, so I feel a little unbalanced.
Since it's HJ vs SB, I don't have hands like KTs that are nice to do it with. KQ with one spade would be ideal, but I don't have that very often.
From what I've read from Sauce and Ike, I should be betting a fairly polarized range here.

I block KQs and he should 4-bet AK, and I highly doubt he bets this small with KJ, so I expect to be good here almost always. Unless this is something like KT/K9.
Turn ($182.50) J 2 K 2 (2 Players)
Hero checks, leynse bets $75, Hero calls $75
With the odds I'm getting, his wide range, and him possibly protection betting Jx this way and obviously bluff, I think I should call here.
Especially given flop analysis.
River ($332.50) J 2 K 2 9 (2 Players)
Hero checks, leynse bets $361.83, and is all in, Hero calls $337.50, and is all in

Spades missed but my Qs blocks a ton of big spade combos. T9 missed, QT which I block, AT, no-equity bluffs and Jx turned into a bluff or something weird.

Value hands: Maybe A2s but obviously few combos, KTs/K9s which may check back river, 99, JJ and the few combos left of the hands I block.

Thoughts?
