Kings=aces live and can be played the same pretty much always. As far as the rest of the hands go it is possible that playing that way is profitable, however it definitely can't be optimal. There are a million posts talking about live vs online so I'm not going to repeat all those. Basically people are sticky in live games. Someone with KQ is calling you down on a K97 board too often to bluff them off (even in 3bet+ pots) so don't expect barreling AQ to be a good strategy. Same with on a J high board. If they have AJ/KJ they are probably taking it to the felt. Why are you hoping to get folds so much with typical value hands?

im purporting to get big pots built, and get them to fold by the river, so i can make as much money as possible without showdown, it works in 1k nl oneline, 6 max anyway

Ah. Well especially compared to 6max you'll be looking at way more multiway action and a severe decline in fold equity/predictability so take from that what you will. Barreling real hands will be much better than barreling bluffs or one pair hands in almost all cases

Question is way too general to be answered in any useful way.
In any case, non-showdown winnings are not where the money is at live low-stakes. The money is in getting as much money in to the pot as possible when you are ahead of their range and drawing for cheap when you're not, then winning at showdown.
