Weird spot with straight

Blinds: $1.00/$2.00 (5 Players) UTG: $345.00
CO: $313.00
BN: $258.00
SB: $436.00
BB: $199.00 (Hero)
We play vs weak reg but standard for softer sites. He plays 22/17 W$WSF 42 low AFQ
Preflop ($3.00) Hero is BB with Q T
UTG folds, CO raises to $6.00, 2 folds, Hero calls $4.00
Flop ($13.00) 9 7 6
Hero checks, CO checks
Could lead but was planning to x/r since Villain overcbet way way too much
Turn ($13.00) 9 7 6 K
Hero checks, CO bets $10.00, Hero raises to $35.00, CO calls $25.00
Turn is interesting but I have 2 pairs and draws and some sets played that way so thats ok to add bluffs with the intention of bombing River
River ($83.00) 9 7 6 K J
Hero bets $70.00, CO raises to $200.00, Hero folds
Now it gets gross. I bet big Villain jams and I have only 88 left. In game I leveled myself in a way that he knows I have so little to call that he never bluffs me but thats probably not the case. If he turns some Ad or Kd here I probably have to call but the more I think about it I have so few flushes on the River that I probably should check and check/call? Thoughts?
Final Pot CO wins $217.00
Rake is $6.00

I'm looking over your range, blockbetting w most hands in our range make more sense than anything. Betting big is decent too, don't think we will face shove all that often, when we do it is always sucks. Gross but he can have all flushes and can add little KQ(d),AK(d) as bluffs to balance it off.
If he balance all well, we have ~~ breakeven cal, if he doesn't we have from profitable to huge(few bigblinds) losing call. It is not up to me to say where we gonna end, on pokerstars imo we can end slightly losing lol

I'd probably fold this hand preflop againts 3x, we need to pay rake so calling doesn't seem overly appealing to me unless we have a pretty big edge postflop.

I think we have a somewhat easy fold on the river given the tendencies of weak regulars. Also, if villains raising range is only flushes and air, our hand doesn't have relevant blockers, therefore it's not great even in theory.

That is a big deal though. I don't mind calling hands that are supposed to be close to 0EV or slightly -EV against RedBaron.

Bet folding here looks fine to me but I likely wouldn't bet this big with your hand. Once you do bet this big I wouldn't be too concerned about being bluffed here. You look like you have a fairly strong hand, villain should expect limited fold equity based on the price that you'll be getting, and even if villain can bluff he's likely only doing it with AdKx here.
