I bet big on the river since I had the Kh to see if I could get rid of Ax - but that may be flawed since he calls alot.
Any help is welcome. Thanks!

OTR you basically turn your kings into a bluff, telling BTN you either catched a runner runner flush or has a 3. (If you had AA you would have bet bigger on the turn, right?)
If you don't have a very loose image that's not a very trustworthy story, since you opened from UTG. Of course a loose player might have a bunch of Ax-hands that might fold. He can also have a busted diamond flush draw, but you won't achieve anything by betting big into him then.
A loose player will probably also call all his low to middle pairs on the button. When he calls two streets against an early opener on this board he will often have sets I believe .
I think you should have checked the turn. As played the river should be a check. You wrote yourself he "calls a lot" meaning you really don't know if he will fold out enough Ax-hands. And him folding those is probably the only thing that could make this big river bet profitable.
Should you use your kings as a bluff catcher if he bets when you check? That I don't know, but probably not. Busted diamond draws are probably the only thing you bet, unless he's super loose and super sticky.
