NL5 zoom, 3B SB vs BU KQo

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) BN: $5.09
SB: $17.38 (Hero)
BB: $7.06
UTG: $10.87
MP: $6.32
CO: $11.01
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is SB with K Q
3 folds, BN raises to $0.15, Hero raises to $0.55, BB folds, BN calls $0.40
Flop ($1.15) 2 2 9
Hero bets $0.50, BN calls $0.50
On this type of board we have a huge range advantage, I decided to go around 40% with most of my range given it's a paired board
Turn ($2.15) 2 2 9 8
Hero bets $1.45, BN calls $1.45
Here I went 75% with this combo, planning to shove most rivers. I have a decent amount of Ax, Kx, Qx flushes. 76dd, 65dd, 54dd sometimes as well. 99, 88. TT-AA. How would you guys play your overpairs here? Check some with diamond and bet the rest? Different sizings?
River ($5.05) 2 2 9 8 A
Hero bets $3.50, BN calls $2.59 and is all in
I would have shoved most rivers anyways, but on this one he has a harder decision with TT-JJ. I think these guys will sometimes have QQ here as well. Flushes,99,88 and maybe 3 combos of AQo w/ Ad beat me.

Would you have played this spot differently?

Exploitively i guess this is fine as players are overfolding vs A OTR…But be aware that this is a spot that we could overbluff pretty easy.
So i wouldnt be shocked if the solver is not pure jamming this or would even be checking more often.

So how do we make sure we are not overbluffing this? OTF I would be mixing a lot of combos, but with a diamond I would CB more. OTT and OTR this seems like a combo that wants to go for it.

This is for sure a prime bluffcandidate. But we will be waiking up with a decent amount of bluffs and a limited amount of value.
So basically we dont have enough value OTR to balance out all of our bluffs.
So the solver will be mixing up frequencies with a lot of different combos in this spot:

Your combo is mostly jammed
(85% )as most KdQx combos. However: this is mostly due to holding the Kc and other KxQd combos will be mostly checked.

I checked this with Gto wizzard. On the flop it mainly bets 75% sizing and with this combo it bets 77% of the time. The interesting part here is if I CB 75% here, 50% OTT, on this river it checks whole range.

This makes sense: KQ still has some SDV and can be played as a check, while we could also capitalize on our blockers to QQ/KK that love to bet big (villain shouldnt have 2x in his range).
But if we choose this path we polarize more (ie we play a lot less Ax-combos this way) while we also strengthen villains range a lot more.
So OTR we wake up with even less nutty combos, while villain will have more hands that are able to call.

Hey pokernemo.

Flop: We actually don't have a huge range advantage on flop given we have a lot more air then BTN, so I would not range bet. Our overpairs, however, have a massive pot share here so I would polarize around them for a large sizing.

Turn: You need to take your sizing down on turn. We have no nuts advantage anymore as both players have many flushes in range. IP also has 99, 88 and higher frequencies as a composite of their range.

River: As played, shove is fine. Blocking flushes, AQ off with D, and importantly unblocking folding range which is medium to low pp's.
