Default Angry Friend & Pot Odds Question

In our local league i played a hand against my buddy that went like this.

I am under the gun with aj off 7 handed. Guy in SB is total donk chip leader who has just called a pre flop raise and then an all in post flop on 272 board with 64 off.

Blinds are 75-150 i have 8000 in chips. i get aj off under the gun and limp. ya ya i know. My friend who is two off the button raises to 600. He has 1800 total. Button calls SB surprisingly calls. BB folds. Had sb folded i am willing to maybe let this go here against my tight playing friend, and cold caller out of position. i call. flop comes kj4 rainbow. total pot is 2550.

The donk in sb always bets when he has a hand, but always check calls when he has nothing so im not too worried about him. Plus i have position on him. He checks. I check friend pushes all in for 1200 more button folds, sb check calls again, and i ask my friend if he has ak. i pick up obvious tell he does not and he would not raise on kj normally. so im worried about kk, qq, jj or kq i feel, albeit him having a lower pocket pair is a possibility. i figure he does not have kk or jj so i figure if he has the other two i have five outs twice. about 4:1 odds. i run some quick math its 1200 more into 5000 chip pot and if im not good im getting about correct odds, because ive ruled out ak, kk, and jj.

So i call. total pot 6200. Me and donk check blank 3 on turn. I make small 1k bet on river blank 4 to donk and he calls with q5. my friend flips over 88 angrily and i explain to him i thought i was good, and even if i wasnt i was getting about right price in big pot that would not cripple my stack. He proceeded to over use the words pot odds the rest of the night to try to poke fun at me.

am i correct in my thinking here any comments or alternative ways to play this.
