$55 DNG 300k - Seeking opinions on a couple of hands

Ok so I had never played an MTT this high but won a seat so gave it a stab.
This first one I have no table reads on villain but OPR says he is a massive winner.
I understand that this is a clear bet - but what sort of sizing do we like?

Poker Stars $50+$5 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 9 players

olya_happy (UTG): t3000 150 BBs
Hero (UTG+1): t2880 144 BBs
chewy732001 (UTG+2): t2940 147 BBs
budzior (MP1): t2970 148.50 BBs
Ryba_5555 (MP2): t3170 158.50 BBs
bee-trade (CO): t3040 152 BBs
tricotijr (BTN): t2970 148.50 BBs
smerks (SB): t2910 145.50 BBs
alka-alka (BB): t3060 153 BBs

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is UTG+1 with K A
1 fold, Hero raises to t60, 5 folds, smerks calls t50, 1 fold

Flop: (t140) J T 4 (2 players)
smerks checks, Hero bets t80, smerks calls t80

Turn: (t300) 5 (2 players)
smerks checks, Hero bets t200, smerks calls t200

River: (t700) A (2 players)
smerks checks


Second one opener seemed competent and had been reasonably active in LP - not so much in MP but I felt I was ahead enough to 3b call(granted my sizing is prob a fraction big).
Cold 4b'er had only been at table for like one orbit but OPR suggests he is decent though lol sample size.
What do we get in here and what value hands(if any) do we fold?

1. id bet more on flop. Bet/fold river

2. Get it in with anything you 3bet for value initially
