Hero: (200)
V1: (200) OG semi tight player, limps a decent amount , and opens a decent amount pf in comparison to the table, might be a reg
V2: passive fish

I open to 12 in LP with AJ

both V's call;

F: 844 (r) one heart;

check to me and I think this is a good board to c-bet, not too many 4's in my opponents range, paired boards in general are good boards to c-bet imo; I bet 20; both V's call

T: 10

checked to me again and I decide to not bet my nut flush here thinking that I don't have much FE in this situation, not quite sure what they are calling me with at this point, some 8X, some PP's , and occasionally some 4X hands

R: K

This is a good card for my range and when getting checked to I think I kind of have to barrel this bc I don't think they will be checking a 4 again especially with me checking back the turn; I want to generate folds from 8X,TX, and PP's; I bet 56 into roughly 105;

Looking back I think I like a sizing more in the neighborhood of 75 to generate more folds and put more pressure on their hands;

What do you think of my line here?

TIA

preflop seems fine
flop I think a cbet here is good . I think your ranging on villians is pretty much on the money.
only hand's they can really continue here is 8x,4x most PP (55-99)(mabje the passive fish will call with 22/33 but would not expect the OG reg calling with this) and maybe some random overcards.

On the turn I think this is a great card to barrel as you picked up a BDFD and can start to apply pressure to all the 8x's, PP's.
They shouldnt have many Tx's in their hand so I would not really be that worried about that.
The one problem with betting here that I can see is that 4x's will most likely check raises you here to start to get some value from their hand and blow you off your flush draw but overall I think a bet is a little bit better than a check. I think a bet of anywere between 40-55 would be ok

On the river you brick out but think a 3rd barrell should get through a lot of the time, I think a 1/2-2/3 PSB would be about right but I am sure someone else in the forums could give you a better idea on ideal sizing on river.

Overall I think you played this ok but think a bet on the turn would make your hand a little more creditable. given the way you played it out I can see the villian making a crying call to your river bet expecting too see your AK lose to their 8x

C-betting is fine, but checking sometimes is not a bad idea. If you check the flop, bet the turn and river. As played, bet the turn and evaluate on the river, depending on how Vs respond.

Regarding the bet sizing, realize that this is a pure bluff and you are getting Vs off a small pair or T. Kx is not folding here. You have to bet bigger or just check.

I am repping KX here I am not looking to get folds from KX hands here and I don't think a KX hand would to get to the river the way the hand played out and then check to me on top of that , This bet was designed to fold out PP's , 8X, and some weird 10X hands

I think I should have went a bit larger as well , I am clearly repping AK here the way I played the hand imo

You said it, just have to bet a bit bigger. This should work most of the time the way hand played out.
