AJs turned into bluff rivered top pair.

UTG: $29.34
HJ: $25
CO: $47.51
BN: $8.55
SB: $20.14
BB: $25 (Hero)
I got no reads on the opener, but the guy in the small blind is fishy, running 32/15/1.6 and a 3 bet of 0 over 264 hands.
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J A
UTG folds, HJ raises to $0.75, CO folds, BN folds, SB calls $0.65, Hero calls $0.50
Decided to flat, since 3-betting really turns our hand into a bluff. So fairly standard flat.
Flop ($2.25) Q 5 5 (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks, HJ bets $1.05, SB calls $1.05, Hero raises to $3.75, HJ folds, SB calls $2.70
We miss the flop, but we got a couple of backdoors, plus one overcard. The preflop raiser c-bets small, and gets called by the SB.
I would most likely have called the c-bet if the SB didn't call.
But I thought that I could turn my hand into a bluff, as I have alot more 5's in my range then either of these guys. And a queen could not take to much heat. So I made a sizeable raise, and got called by the SB.
Turn ($10.80) Q 5 5 T (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks
We pick up some equity with a gutter, but not much else. So against a normal reg, I usually would have barreled, but the thing is that this is rush poker, and my HUD didn't update, so I had the stats of a decent player pre and on the flop, but it updated on the turn. And then I quickly understood that a fish wouldn't fold a queen here. So I decided to check behind with my equity
River ($10.80) Q 5 5 T A (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.70, SB calls $3.70
We river top pair, and is it to thin to value bet here? Will he call often enough with a queen to make it profitable? I also bet very small to get a queen to call.
Final Pot
Hero has J A Hero wins $17.29

Feedback would be appreciated :)
