NL50 Bluffing vs donk from REG line, 5max

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (5 Players) BB: $50.00
UTG: $54.92
CO: $51.81 (Hero)
BN: $50.80
SB: $50.50
Villain - REG (was big winner, now running BE). Table FR (left 5Max after fish left). 21/17/7,2 after 2k hh. BB call vs CO 14%, FvCB OOP 46(13)/0(2), donk turn 14%, WWSF 40, W$SD 47, WTSD 21
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is CO with 8 J
UTG folds, Hero raises to $1.30, 2 folds, BB calls $0.80
Flop ($2.85) A 8 K
BB checks, Hero bets $1.75, BB calls $1.75
My flop plan 3barrel as bluff (have few outs), better board for my range than his.
Turn ($6.35) A 8 K Q
BB bets $4.50, Hero raises to $13.50, BB calls $9.00
Turn lead looks pretty strange for me, because his value = max 2Pair (KQ and maybe K8s,Q8s). I block nuts (JT) + set (88).
River ($33.35) A 8 K Q 3
BB checks, Hero bets $22.00, BB calls $22.00
Final Pot BB wins and shows two pair, Kings and Queens.
CO lost and shows a pair of Eights.
BB wins $74.85
Rake is $2.50

I think it's best hands to bluff, same play with T8s. Also here I have ton value (AA,KK,AK,88,JT). A8 probably just call, don't know about AQ. What's your ideas? It's good spot to bluff?

I like the idea of having this combo to balance our JT valuecombos. Given that you're trying to rep nuts, you should shove river, so I dislike the sizing.
With these said, I'm not sure if it's worth having a bluff range in this situation. It is really player dependant , but most villains will never fold to turn raise after leading, and only might fold enough OTR in my opinion.

After you said about shoving river, I understand my mistake (bad sizing on turn, I raise too small), because river eff.stack $33,45 into $33,35 would be little overbet (If I raise $16 on turn and shove $30,75 in $38.35 river). I agree that on turn villain almost never folding, all folds I get = on river.

Yeah, ofc I can, but I never overbet and I think it would be exploitable. I think villain would call more overbet or fullpot, then 70% bet. It's just my opinion..

I'm not sure why you think that villains call wider against a potsize/overbet. Overbetting is a nice play in a lot of situations so you should start doing it :P I think your raise size was fine, but a bit bigger is fine as well.
