Awkward 3bet pot situation vs. a tough reg. Lines?

BB: $600 (Hero)
UTG: $459
HJ: $730.56
CO: $633.36
BN: $600
SB: $314.70
Preflop ($9.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A 6 J Q
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO folds, BN raises to $12, SB folds, Hero raises to $39, BN calls $27
Flop ($87.00) 9 Q 2 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BN checks
Turn ($87.00) 9 Q 2 5 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BN bets $54
Villain is Volanthn and for anyone who plays mid/high stakes should know he's a very solid winning player.

His button steal is 70% thus the 3 ball. On flop I feel like this is a decent hand to check/decide. I think its a bit light to bet/call this and def too strong to bet/fold. Also if we bet here and get called there is a ton of turn he'd have to check and potentially give up on. My move now is to check/decide possibly c/shove vs. villain who light stabs. thoughts?

Once the flop goes check/check and the turn bricks its pretty often we have the best hand. We could bet here and we will most likely get called but on various rivers we will have a tough decision.

Anyone feel like a check raise is ok here as well? Before I posted the hand I felt like that could be a play but as I'm writing out the post I feel like that 5 isn't a card he will stab often so in hindsight I feel like a bet here is best followed by a river decision.
