Default 2-5: QQ river action

Local cardroom. Full table, stacks range from 400 to 1500. Fairly loose and passive game up to this point.

Straddle to 10 and restraddle to 20. One caller in late position, I look down and see QQ in the small blind. I raise to 80. First straddle calls, lp folds.

With 200 in the pot, heads up, I lead out for 100 on a flop of Jd5s2c and get a call.

On a 6c turn I bet 200 into the 400 pot and get a call.

River is the Ac. I have 500 behind. Pot is 800. Opponent has 220 left. Action?

In the hand I pushed the river. Reasoning as follows:

If he had AJ I thought I would have heard from him already. Felt he most likely had KJ or QJ. If he had a set, he played it very passively. Felt he would have raised the turn.

Since the J on board was a club, I felt it very unlikely that he had hit the flush with runner runner. If he did, he was taking my money.

If I check and he pushes, with over 1000 in the pot I have to call anyway so might as well push. So if I am calling two pair and a flush, might as well push in the hope that the KJ/QJ will pay me off. Likelihood of check check was low in my view.

river bet is very good.
However, bet more on the flop and you can shove turn,

Is the J on the board a Club? OP says J of diamonds? if so that makes 4 clubs on board, do you have the queen of clubs?

If flop has J of diamonds, i feel its more likely he has KJ than a set, as hand played very passively. if it happens to be KJ clubs, unlucky.

He had KJ, called my river bet, and muttered for about an hr afterwards about how sick the last bet was.

The J on the flop was a club Auc. There were three on board by the river. Not 4.

Thanks for the input.
