Playing vs a ~MES?

BN: $266.82
SB: $233.88
BB: $291.22
UTG: $227.43
HJ: $256.45
CO: $338.75 (Hero)
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K K
UTG folds, HJ raises to $4.50, Hero raises to $18, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds, HJ calls $13.50
Flop ($39.00) 3 7 8 (2 Players)
HJ checks, Hero bets $24.82, HJ calls $24.82
Turn ($88.64) 3 7 8 J (2 Players)
HJ checks, Hero checks
River ($88.64) 3 7 8 J 3 (2 Players)
HJ checks

You didn't bet turn b/c you know that HJ has 77, 88, T9s, JJ in his range.  If you assume he checks all of these hands OTR to try and punish you to the max for reopening KK-AA, do you still have incentive to bet these hands?  If so, for what sizing?

At first this seems like a very exploitative strategy for villain, but if we still have incentive to v-bet KK-AA after he slowplays everything, doesn't that support that villain is not being exploitative .. just playing well?
