I would bet about $25 on the flop. It's enough to stack villain by the river on good board run out and it gives you more manoeuvrability if board goes bad.

Alternatively, you could just potsize flop and make it a 2 street hand. In that case, you probably want to shove turn yourself on pretty much any turn card.

My line would be to c/c turn and c/f river.

yeah i would just C/C turn and C/F river unless he made it absurdly small. Rec players can def bet small like this with Tx and bluffs and then check the river. facing a river bet would fold without a solid reason to believe villain is going cray

I wouldn't mind a check on the flop cuz it doesn't hit our range well and draws are doing decent vs any over pairs really. I think you will find it easier to play to. say you c/c flop now that turn hits you a lot more often and villain will play pretty honestly. but as played blocking a lot of hands you want him to have like QJ Qxdd call turn and reevaluate river.

If the villain is rec, shouldn't we forget about some gto and play more exploitative?
I mean, betting big on the flop in order to shove the turn.
He will gii with mostly draws or weak pairs.

actually want to reposition my stance.. I would say C/C turn and evaluate river. you do block AQ, he prob 4-bets AK, so on the river you may actually just have the right price to call it off on blanks

I'd C/C turn, C/F river. If you're confident villain is a rec, then he can bet the turn worse for value to see cheap showdown. Calling a river jam seems pretty bad because, unless you have a read, the general player pool isn't going to bluff often enough and he checks back his Tx / JJ now. Don't worry about blockers when they don't have enough bluffs in the first place.
