I decided to take this line because I have so many value hands on this board: Ax hearts, AK, KQ, KJ, TT, KK, sometimes KTs and 55. V I perceive to be a reg big stack and I have seen him a few times at NL5z. Do you think this bluff is too spazzy? not sure if I should just be check folding hands like this and bluffing with hands like AJo, AQo, Ako with Ah. Any help would be appreciated :)

It's generally not a good idea to try to take a little less experienced players off strong absolute hand strength hands like here. You are trying to make him fold at least something like half his trips to be +EV.
Preflop is loose vs tight BTN openers and players that fold less than like 45% or less to that 3bet size. Flop and turn is probably fine tho.
thanks for the response, how should I be playing 22-55 A2-A5s and a few other suited connectors that I would usually 3 bet against a button steal?
There are many ways to approach a montone flop that connects somewhat well with your range. I know of two that are really easy to execute that nets close to all EV against clairvoyant player (knows what you do and can max exploit it):
1. Cbet entire range on the flop with around 22% pot and check all hands on the turn.
2. Don't cbet a single hand on the flop.
I know this sound quite strange for most players but it's fine in theory and works well in practice from my experience.
Why as low as 22% and not closer to 33% like I bet on paired board? Won't 22% look way too weak and give everyone too good odds to call?Also you wont get much money when you have it. And if you're not betting the turn either you're not bluffing off players or getting value from weaker
Maybe the equity graph can help things make sense. On montone flops like this the aggressor doesn't have a range advantage in the top but a lagre advantage for mid strength hands. It turns out that putting in a tiny bet with entire range works well in those spots when OOP. There are no strong counters because you really just leverage your range in an efficient way.
