Shallow 4bet Pot Shenanigans

BB: Jon Doe: $0
UTG: FraserTeamTitan: $1448
HJ: LILLIGRUBER: $400
CO: HERO: $951
BN: Privko: $400
SB: LeCordonnier: $408
Oppo in this hand is really good reg, I have quite a chunk of pretty aggro history with him (we've played quite a few really spazzy hands against each other over the years) he's more stubborn than most in general. He's very aggressive and has a high 3bet (spesh vs me)
Preflop ($6.00) (5 Players)
HERO was dealt K T A 9
LILLIGRUBER folds, HERO raises to $12, Privko raises to $42, LeCordonnier folds, FraserTeamTitan folds, HERO raises to $120, Privko calls $90
Flop ($270.00) 8 Q 3 (2 Players)
HERO checks, Privko checks
Unusual that I've 4b preflop 100bb deep and manage to have barely ANY equity at all on Q83ss, I think, as a kind of exploitative play c/f here is the best play, I'm not sure if I have any range that chk/calls (if so, prolly an EXTREMELY strong one, as I want no fold equity + would have to not mind it being checked through at all) but given how hard this will hit his range, how light he'll be prepared to stack off here vs me I was just going to c/f here. I feel like vs most mid-stakes guys who 3b wide here PF I'm exploiting them by having a c/f range here (even if it is just the very, very bottom of my range) I'm going to guess at about 25%~ equity vs a calling range, and very few folds.
Turn ($270.00) 6 (2 Players)
HERO bets $270, Privko calls $268
He checked back, turned this card and in game my thought process went entirely "He can't have a flush, I might check AA w spades once in a while, I'M ALL IN" I think it's far to say his range is almost entirely 1pair hands at this point.

As played to the turn, what's the best way to try win this pot? bet $80 and jam rivers? Jam as I did? Or is just checking to c/f and then maybe picking a few river cards to bluff on?

Comments on my flop plan of c/f? Would you just be jamming with a GS and prolly one live pair out? Is the fact I likely have no value checking range on this flop a bad thing? We're giving our oppo a very profitable flop jam after my check if I have no calling range, but given that the hands I decide to check/fold will have such little equity this prolly isn't too much of a problem as his range will b strong on this flop....


I'm gonna put the results up now as I think they are relevant to the analysis. He called with KKQJ (no spades) he broke my neck off as well.
