I got a little tricky on the turn. I would say 90%+ of the time I would lead the turn with this hand.

I don't see villain checking back ever with a better hand than KJ (except for exactly the 3 44 and 1 JJ combo), so IF I check turn, I think I'm obliged to show agression, either on the turn or on blank rivers.

Since I could potentially x/r turn with a lot of gut shots, open enders and FD's and I rep a narrow valuerange - of which I'm leading turn way more often than not - I guess widening my value x/r range every now and then might be very effective. KJ reasonable candidate? .

I tried to incentivize villain to bluffcatch me light (esp. when draws miss) and to bet about 80% pot on the river on most rivers.

I didn't really expect villain to raise turn often, yet since he represents such a polarized range I obviously never fold on turn and river anymore, especially versus such a small sizing. (His sizing is kinda weird given that he is so polarized. On the other hand, since I'm also perceived to be very polarized it might be acceptable, right?)
