Little info on villain but no crazy plays yet. I can't get away from this spot can I?

PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 100 BB
UTG: 244 BB
CO: 144.2 BB
Hero (BTN): 124.8 BB
SB: 116.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J♣ Q♠

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, fold, BB calls 1.4 BB

Flop: (5.2 BB, 2 players) 9♦ Q♦ J♠
BB checks, Hero bets 3.8 BB, BB raises to 14.2 BB, Hero raises to 39.2 BB, BB raises to 97.6 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 58.4 BB

My thoughts on the flop are that most QQ, JJ, 99 will 3bet pre-flop. There are tons of draws and pair+draw that might want to get it in.

Spoiler

Turn: (200.4 BB, 2 players) A♥

River: (200.4 BB, 2 players) 5♣

BB shows 9♣ 9♠ (Three of a Kind, Nines)
(Pre 54%, Flop 82%, Turn 91%)
Hero shows J♣ Q♠ (Two Pair, Queens and Jacks)
(Pre 46%, Flop 18%, Turn 9%)
BB wins 192 BB

JJ & 99 for sure.
A lot of people just set mine with less than TT

Top two, just flatting the flop x/r might be better.
If you do catch a Q or J, you have the better boat.

I'm curious to read what the real experts think though...

You block most sets and normal JJ and QQ would 3bet pre-flop. I wouldn't mind the stack of. Even if you are behind you have at least 4 outs and is possible villain could have a draw as well.
