I think the bluff makes sense. Should we shove instead?

You block TJ and flush draws mainly. You hold a K blocking KQ and a T blocking QT but I guess that's not really an issue here.
From a range perspective, Villain holds a bluffcatcher OTR (unless he slowplayed 22 or 44), so against a bluffcatcher you should bet bigger as possible.
I don't think your size would get any fold from a Qx and for that reason it doesn't accomplish much.
If villain is somewhat reggy, I would shove, because I assume he is able to find a fold button.
If he is a sticky one, I probably give up
I agree here a lot, river bluff might be fine if you scale it up a bit. That being said, I think it's an important observation that villain does not have his full stack, so there's a good chance he's somewhat fishy.
Against this backdrop I would also depend on whether or not I want to check-raise turn. Against a reg, the line is nice, but depending on the players tendency (too sticky), I would prefer to just call
Mostly 3 betting pre here. I think I mix about 75% 3b and 25% call. Can't find fault in either choice. I tend to attack spots where I can avoid rake and these guys suck in 3b pots quite frankly.
That said, this is one of those boards where he should be betting a ton (like 75%+) so I don't mind a check/raise on this flop. I feel confident solver will check/raise 18%+ at optimal. This is a good candidate. Basically, just don't ever fold flop. Playing it as a call is fine too.
Turn is where it gets kind of interesting. <100bb stack makes me tend to put him in the fish bucket. Any history? Signs of over applied aggression? My guess is that your line is probably higher ev than check/calling in an optimal setting. Vs. a sticky opponent or one that is quite selective with his barreling range, check/calling is probably the way to go.
