Hand from £1k Stars festival London vs friend

I had just been moved to the direct left of my friend who I am rooming with during this series. I have about 22k at 300/600/100 which is half average. First hand I get aces and open to 1.4k into his BB which he defends.

Flop QJ8r, he check-calls 1.7k. Turn 7, he check-calls 5.1k. River 5 and I have 15k behind so around 80% pot.

Things to note:

-My friend and I talk a lot of strat. I know he has no 3b range in BB vs my UTG open and is thus uncapped but also that he will defend correctly, so also slightly wider than most regs.

-He knows how aggro I am going to run in this spot. All AT combos are getting barreled off, and AK is at a decent frequency.

-This £1k was playing like the Big $5.50 and structure was pretty good. I still have tons of room with 15k.

So... jam or check?

Edit: jam or check, not jam or fold.

Ya if he knows you're Aggro I think this is a pretty easy 3 barrel jam

Call me a newb atm (no coffee yet), but he has like 8.2billion combos that beat us, and roughly 72.5% x back if we x. Also dont we have significantly better here? Also given hes not shit, hes gunna def bb wide and has a lot of offsuit combos that really add up to making the x/f seem fair

You do need coffee. I can't check fold in position.

Think it depends on how many 2p he check shoves on turn when he is OOP and I can make his life hell on a bunch of rivers. Did a bit of combo counting, him having every T9 is pretty bad for me as expected. Still unsure.

its super close, we're really looking to get called by pretty much just KQ/QT/some Q9 at this point and not much else really. If he has QT he does block the one T9 suited combo but obviously blocks more combos of your AT 3barrel bluff combos and whilst KQ is in a really difficult spot he also blocks some of your semi-frequent AK 3barrels. Plus, we can also have far stronger hands in our own range to go for the full 3-barrel value for in this situation (Obviously QQ is huge but hands that get called more frequently by worse include JJ and 88 as well as your own T9 of course.)

Lower variance route might be the way to split your range here in a field where you seem to have a significant edge (?), like you said most of it depends on how many 2p he check shoves as opposed to check calls

(P.S. was this FR and you don't have KTo here right? just the KT suited combos? makes some difference)
