Is my bluff out of line after checking flop?
Not sure if this is a profitable bluff vs unknown. I check flop with some flush draw & I think villain is capped on river just check calling turn. Maybe on review my river sizing should have been closer to pot? Also is this a flop I should be cbetting?

This flop is very good for the 3bettor. CO doesn't have KK, QQ, not much 55 (in theory, many microstakes players can't resist flatting all pocket pairs vs 3bet all the time). The standard theoretical play is to cbet you full range for a small size. Especially when you have such a garbage hand, you want to leverage your range advantage to make them fold.
On this board for example you should cbet 1/3 pot and if called I think when you turn so much equity you should blast off full pot.
Agree w boulgakov, cbet bet flop for sure w range advantage and trash other than 2 backdoors. Continue on turn w the gained equity w a 3/4 or full pot bet.
Board pairing rivers are typically not good for continued bluffing
Thanks, noted with the range advantage should have been a cbet. If the turn bricks with say a deuce is 76 a hand we then check behind & only continue barrelling with our flush draws & value hands?

In theory land we should be mostly checking this hand behind on turn because we are blocking his autofold region (77 66, low pairs 65s 78s, etc) and unblocking his continuing region (KJs, KTs, AQs.) We prefer to barrel turn with broadways here even if we turned equity w 76s. However if you feel like opponents in your pool way overfold to turn bets, then turn bet isn't terrible but we often forced to triple barrel this hand on river.
