Or does the SPR not matter becasue I was never ahead of his range?

I would tend to agree with threads13 and say your initial play was just bad, so SPR can't help you. You can't really hope for a better flop than this, unless you hit some miracle 2 pair or something. (As a general rule, whenever domination is a possibility, you're better off hitting your bottom card for a top-pair hand.) So you called a raise, got an excellent flop, got an excellent SPR, and you're thinking about folding (probably correctly). That tells me you actually did not plan the hand very well, and did not stand well against villain's range to begin with. I'm not pontificating - I think what I'm probably doing is mirroring back to you what you already know based on the info you've given.

And that is why we don't call EP raises with junky hands like KJo. But this has been conventional wisdom for quite some time :-)
