Standard line check. Villian is a reg. I recognize is name but dont have any specific notes about him. I went for c/r on the river because I cant really put him on a hand that calls a bet but doesnt bet himself.

Line looks good to me but since balance is the talk of the town lately, not sure it's easiest line to add bluffs to and prob can get exploited some from better players.

Exploited how?

In the sense that good players can bet/f 22 here, and I am only getting called by better? But what do I lose too? (Spoiler: JcTc, which is what he had). Literally only that and 35s which i doubt he calls pre.

But I dont expect ppl to fold sets here. Or even something like AK.

And AJ or AT seems like a good hand to turn into a bluff if we need a bluffing range. I wouldnt do it because I dont expect a fold. (we kinda see where I am in the balance argument. No point in being balanced when you expect your opponent to be very exploitable).

The reason I dont like betting is that we block his TP hands so his range is polarized after calling turn between strong made hands that are slowplaying to induce action from the 3rd player (22,QQ,AQ,AK) and hands like JcTc,KcJc,KcTc. I just feel like villain is more likely to bet than call with a hand that he would check back. If he checks back AQ i feel bad but thats not happening.

You explained how pretty well. Prob isn't worth being too concerned about here, just thought it was worth mentioning. Like I said, I like your line.

Interesting hand. I like the line as well, but I think we still need to be betting the river here, as we still get value from Qx hands and some Ax hands (although unlikely because of blockers)

As played OTR I think we can just call the bet as we are only getting called by better once you jam and I know there's really only 1 combo of hand that gets there, but you're still super deep and have some chips left if you just call.
