Dry flop dry turn.

I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Im confused with what hands we should be bluffing with when the turn brings no straight or backdoor potential like Q727.

So normally i would cbet with most of my flopped draws and backdoor stuff on the flop but when i get this 7 turn card and the boards still rainbow i have no bluffs in my range. So i was wondering if i should start betting all combos of JTo on the flop seen as i can turn an OESD but that looks like a pretty poor turn barrel even if it does block some Qx.

Even on a flop like J44 when i turn a flush draw and a OESD when we have 65s on a 7 turn i still don't have enough bluffs with all my flush draws as well so i was wondering if i should be barreling off on some run outs with either AK/AQ/KQ.

After looking at my range on various turns and river cards i noticed if i decided to do it with enough combos of 1 of those holding then my range would be messed up if i had rivered a pair. Is there any vids on here about this or is there anyone kind enough to give me an idea of what i should be doing here?

I think in the first case (Q727) the 7x OTT is not a blank. Villain has a range advantage there, since midcard pairing helps a lot of his combos if we talk about bvb situation. So when he has tons of trips with a fairly high SPR, we should be careful with our TP type hands and probably check a big fraction of our range, so what to bluff is not a huge concern there.
Still, given that we'll have trips, overpairs, and good TPs often wanna bet as well, we need a bluffrange.

I think I would 2barrell hands that block most of his made hands, and have some backdoors OTF. For example: 65s,98s,KJ, KT. Which are the best combos for it depend on his pre/post frequencies obviously.

The 2nd case (J44r) is different though. If the turn is a 7 of FD, you maintain your range advantage, so you'll keep barrelling fairly often for value.
AK, AQ probably still have pretty nice SDV, so even if we have bet them OTF I would just check mostly. I think our best bluffing hands besides FDs are our KQ, T9, 65s,T8s,98s.
That should be enough, but if not I would choose some hands with some TP and trip blockers like KT,QT.

If turn is a 2 of rainbow, we don't really have many draws, so blockers + chance to improve are most important factors in my opinion. So again I would bluff hands like KQ, KT,K9,QT and occasional gutshots.

I'm quite sure that GTO would mix up a lot of those "blocker" combos, and bet most of them with x% so it's not a thing that on certain river cards you won't have enough bluffs.
