What's your play here? bet 55%-60% turn? let's say he calls what do you do on blank river ? go broke allin or x/f?

Don't just automatially cbet, get to the turn and then say "ok now the thinking starts".

If you're going to cbet, 33% is enough. If you force a competent opponent to arrive at the turn with a polarised range of hands that beat aces and big card spades, you will lose the pot.

should probably be cbetting this flop dont u agree

I think cbetting is fine but it's not automatic and it's not strikingly +EV.

Understand that you're not denying much equity. He's not flatting button with many offsuit combos, the ones that do are not folding to one bet. It could be only AQx and pairs. 44+ are not folding.

Betting (poker in general) is not profitable because you race often against combo draws and hold, that's gambling. For betting to be a money-maker, you need to find hands AA has in bad shape (low equity) that will be willing to put money in. They are not plentiful, but they exist, therefore cbetting is okay. The bigger you bet, the more likely you are to scare them away. 5.5 into 8.34 is likely to mostly scare them away.

I ran my ranges both my polarized preflop and linear preflop range from EP against this board. When attempting to keep my range balanced, with all the flushes in my range, the only AA combos I can bet 2x here is the AsAx combos.

I guess a check on the flop for pot control is better.

I'd take the line c/c on flop. And reevaluate turn if checked back OTF.

be precautious in that spot. Cbetting here isnt mandatory w/ a hand as strong as AA. Showdown wise it d be a disaster to have to fold it on early streets.

Cbet is OK (but probably only slightly profitable) but has to be smaller, as mentioned. 1/3 pot sounds pretty good.

V has all value hands in his range on the BTN, so you definitely want to pot control at some point. A flop check isn't a bad time to do it, either, since a turn check OOP is going to induce a double barrel behind fairly often by a V in position.

so cbet 1/3 flop x/c turn and x/c river would be the best line here?
