This hand is against a good reg. I think im happy with my bluff? However, I'm unsure about my betsizings on both turn and river. I think I should be betting both streets either bigger or smaller.

I think you need to be carefull not to overbluff this spot, they have QQ,JJ,Kx there allot i think when  they x/c turn. We got a few AdX combos and 67s,78s and some Axcc hands as well. vs the Kx, flushes and boat we are gonna have we are bluffing too much if we bluff all our air stuff i think. So we should give up some on rvr or xback some turns or something.

Thanks the more I thought of this spot the more I thought that i was bluffing way to much here if i start including 5x and that the villains range was pretty strong here. 

thoughts on betting like 90 on turn and 250ish on river. I thought i could do better doing that and rep some Kx hands instead of polarizing my range so much.

Think your sizing is fine, in theory we should have bigger sizing when we got more bluffs. If we get more hero folds from him in practice when we go as small as you said cause he might think we only have value or something idk cause i dont play this limit but i kinda doubt it.

I find the call pre a bit lose. I think i would have chosen AJ AQ with a diamond , A2s, A3s, 67s... rather thant your hand to bluff on the turn. He will not really often give up this turn and his hand look like 9x or TTd/QQd a lot and your hand is not playing well against his range at all and there are not really a lot of river except an ace which will make him fold more often.

Pre when villain makes it only 3x its pretty close for me, dont hate the call esp when you got some reads about him postflop that you can use.
