Two interesting hands
HAND NUMBER ONE
Reg opens UTG 9handed and we flat AQ on btn. Flop=A67r we call 1/3 pot, TURN=2, he bets half pot and we call. River= J he bets half pot and i raise 3.5x to fold out AK. AQ is the weakest hand i have OTR other than KQs floats sometimes. Is this bluff "gto"?
HAND NUMBER TWO
Reg opens UTG we defend A2hh in BB FLOP=AQT with a diamond flushdraw. We call the cbet. TURN= 8 we call again (should probably fold?)
RIVER= K that completes the flush and we lead for half pot. What should i be bluffing with here? Would you recommend overbluffing as an exploit? Also what should UTG call the river with?
I guess i should buy a solver...

If you are trying to make him fold AK why do you choose a hand that has an ace on it ?
Because i think he has AK like 80% of the time here
Why would he have AK 80% of the time? There are 8 combos of AK and 6 of 66/77 combined. Quite unlikely but he may also have some AJ once in a while.
You definitely don't have many natural bluffs by the river, so yeah you would have to choose some combos to bluff raise, but as Raphael implied, if your plan is to make fold some Ax (well basically only AK in this specific spot), you prefer not having an A yourself.
Also we lack information about how deep you guys are. You probably have a different preflop calling range 25, 50 or 80bb deep. If you are deeper for instance, I assume you may have some combos of Axs, meaning that you are not really at the bottom of your range anymore.
Also, I assume the answer is no as you did not mention it, but does the turn bring any BDFD? That would change the hand drastically.
I think for hand #1 it would be pretty hard for him to fold out AK to that size of raise. I think you're really gonna have to bomb it more than 3.5x(which isnt even a potsized raise I believe, however it would be more helpful if you said the stack sizes and bet sizes in chips or bb's). As theyve said I'd use a hand without an A to get villain off AK, AQ might be better to use as just a call as a bluff catcher or AT, maybe A9, or a KK QQ barreling. I dont think its a necessary raise as most ppl wouldn't fold AK on that board to that sizing. I think maybe your best bet would have been raising flop or turn to rep 2 pair or set, then maybe theyd fold AK as you'd take over the betting lead.
For hand #2 I'd raise turn or fold. By these two hands you're very station-y and when you do pick up a big hand and raise its most likely pretty face up. As played your river bluff isn't very believable and you haven't given yourself a chance to get a read on his hand by just calling barrels. If anything you rep a J for broadway on the river.
