Back to basics checkup... marginal hand/big pot

Villain has PFR of 10 or so over a few hundred hands. I figure he is only raising big PP and AK out of the SB.

I called pre-flop because barring a re-raise, we are going to the flop 5 handed and I only have to call 1. I'm looking to hit the flop hard.

On the flop, I've got a pair and a gut shot. Not exactly as good of a flop as I would like, but I think I can work with it with 10SB already in the pot. I'd like to protect my gutshot from runner-runner spades, and my 2 pair draw from a straight, so I raise. I think this is correct, but want to check.

On the river, I was a wuss. I was worried about QQ and JJ at this point. He probably isn't betting an unimproved ace, so he has AQ (unlikely given the flop 3-bet and pfr), AA, KK, JJ, QQ here. I'm ahead of slightly more than I am behind, but if he 3-bets, I'm probably hosed.
