Default [$6] Two pair hits troublesome river

Villain is a typical Friday night $6 donk -- limps into most pots, pf minraises, calls too much, etc. Bad and certainly unpredictable.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t2495)
MP (t2555)
CO (t2655)
Button (t1640)
SB (t1980)
Hero (t2175)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t150, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t600) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t350</font>, MP folds, Button folds, SB calls t350.

Turn: (t1300) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, SB calls t600.

River: (t2500) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t450</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>

So my choices are:

A. Fold, because he certainly played this like he was drawing to the flush (leaves me with t1075)

B. Flat call, because he may indeed have the flush but I'm not laying down two pair in this spot (leaves me with t625 if I lose)

C. Push, because even if we're behind here, being left with t625 makes for a very unlikely uphill climb and I'd like to at least get more money in the pot on the off chance I'm ahead.

A very good 2+2er friend was sweating me on this and he didn't like my choice. He's, well, pretty much always right, but I wanted to get some other thoughts.

Thanks,

Matt
