It's good that you are aware you have a blocker to his AQ combos, and that you block one of his boat combos with the J, but your range is really capped, and his isn't at all.

You pretty much rep A5, and maybe K5s.
JJ/KK/TT/AQ all 3-bet pre-flop or on the turn, so your hand kind of looks like what it is.

i dont 3b TT, 55 K5s J5s Q9

You should 3-bet more then. Versus a 50% or so opening range, TT is a fist pump 3-bet. You need to have enough hands in your 3-betting range, otherwise you'll be unbalanced, and easy to play against.

I generally 3-bet strong hands and hands that aren't really good enough to call with, but do have playability. K5s is a marginal defend, but a good 3-bet. You have an overcard to a bunch of his flatting range, and you're suited. Being dominated isn't too relevant, since you won't play for stacks very much, and you were dominated anyway if you were to call.
I do agree that flatting 22-66 is better than 3-betting them.

I don´t know how much are you defending the big blind. If you defend like 50%+, this hand is strong enough to just call. Turn bluffcatchers into bluff is overrated.

villain's river bet seems really strong here vs your BB range. 

I feel like your raise really only reps and K5s (2) and Q9s(4) as you 3bet most sets pf or raise them on the flop or on the turn,   A5 folds the turn,   2 pair raise the turn or don't raise.  55 is 1 whole combo.  would you flat the flop with J5s?    5 to 7 legit value hands and alot of missed draws.

You rep a very narrow value range. I think you'll get called alot here.

Tough to pull off when the board favors his range so immensely (KK,JJ,TT, AQ, all of which you can't have). 

Having said that, you did choose a good hand to do it with!
