a Parx $550 hand from last February

I had about 80k. Blinds were 500/1k with some kind of ante.
A hand of history to show my image: After folding for three or four orbits (ran QQ into KK and resolved to tighten up for a bit), I raised to 2700 (same blind level) with 64cc from middle position. This left me with about 35k. A guy in his 60s called in the big blind and had about 50k left after making the call.
Flop was Kc-5h-3c to give me a superdraw. The guy checked and called 3500. Turn was an offsuit 9 and he check-called 10k. River was an offsuit 8 and he bet 10k. I didn't believe him and shipped it for 9k more. He pondered for a while and mucked and I showed the 6 high bluff.
On to the relevant hand. As I wrote, I had about 80k. UTG (who had the KK versus my QQ) raised to 2800. A loose player who was kind of a lunatic called in the hijack and the button called as well. I came along from the big blind with KQo.
Flop was Q-9-7 with two hearts. It checked around. Turn was an offsuit 4 and I checked again. The raiser bet 4800 and the lunatic called. I raised to 16,100 and the raiser folded. Then the lunatic jammed for 27,100 more and I called.
Your thoughts? Thanks.

64s hand is horrible, last time I cringed so hard was when Donald Trump mocked that disabled journalist.
KQo hand - lead the freaking turn, what the hell are you doing? You are grossly overplaying your hand and turning it into a bluff. Holy crap this forum does suck.

OP, the hands you post just go against most reasonable posters' logic/advice, so if you are really set into playing hands the way you do, why are you disappointed by the replies?
The turn check-raise makes no sense, just bet turn and go from there.
The previous hand (64s) went from a meh turn bet (omc is not folding that turn after check/calling that flop texture)/to a nuclear disaster on the river because "you did not believe him".

not sure why we are raising the turn. Just call turn and call a lot of rivers probably.

Lead turn, c/c is too weak and c/r is overplaying it. Just get some value, you have infinity potential bluffs here. I guess now that he jammed it's hard to fold when you're Crazy Joe. I don't think he's necessarily bluffing much but for his valuerange to be many hands he needs to check a lot of strong hands on the flop, otherwise it's pretty much only 44.

I was hoping people would look at this hand and consider my river bluff raise with 6 high as part of my image....
