It seemed like a good idea at the time: bluffing with AK on a flush-completing turn

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (6 Players) SB: $33.75
BB: $60.00
UTG: $146.36 (Hero)
MP: $54.62
CO: $16.32
BN: $57.11
BTN is a TAG, tricky reg.
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is UTG with K A
Hero raises to $1.75, 2 folds, BN raises to $6.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $15.00, BN calls $9.00
My usual raise size is 3x. I don't remember why I raised 3.5x. Probably just a misclick. Still, preflop is fine.
Flop ($30.75) 2 8 9
Hero bets $10.15, BN calls $10.15
Check/folding is completely fine here. Maybe he can have 99 some of the time, and I probably can't. Still, he mostly has Ax or overpairs here, and the pot is ginormous, so I took a stab.
Turn ($51.05) 2 8 9 T
Hero bets $121.21 and is all in, BN calls $31.96 and is all in
The T is not a good card, because he can also have TT. He probably folded most of his Ax on the flop -- then again he is certainly capable of floating with his Ax.

However, I have the As, so I thought: let's go for it.
River ($204.22) 2 8 9 T T
Final Pot BN wins $111.97
Rake is $3.00

BTN 3-bet pre with 76s (fine), and also called a 4-bet (not good).

Looking back at my play, it is extremely spewy.

However, I am wondering what other bluffs can I have here? I can't think of any better hands to bluff.
