AQs

I think villain has many non-Kx hands in his pre calling range that he will call flop but fold to further action. It is not bad to double barrel here.
You could check turn and bet river small but then there is a bigger chance villain is bluff catching you with 5x or something. So I like doublebarreling more because I believe it has bigger fold equity.

I have seen 77-JJ call here on flop and turn. I am not so sure that the second barrel is that good.

Those might call, sometimes. But I believe most 77-JJ are going to fold to turn barrel. Giving up OTT is ok too. If you decide not to bet there I think it is better to check river too.

We should x river unimproved.

That's the way to criple your red line. Yes, 77-JJ are calling turn here sometimes but NL5 players rarely call third barrel without premium hands (which is relatively rare CO vs BU) + you sometimes have yourself sets and TPTK here.

Running a 3 barrel bluff will lose money here.

I'm not sure if I would 3 barrel this hand but I think it wouldn't be terrible to do so.

On nl5 I would not bother much about the red line.

AQ is a good hand to bluff 3 streets on a dry K high board as it blocks some of his holdings with the K.

If the opponent is a fishy calling station - give up on the turn.
If you are vs reg - if you bet the turn you must bet the river as well to make him fold his 66-JJ hands. Sometimes a reg can also fold a weak Kx,- mb KT, KJ can find a fold to triple barrel.

Against unknown you can also give up on the turn.

The value of blockers go down for each street. Blockers help nicely preflop for range assessment and preflop bluffing, but their value diminishes postflop, street by street, You have new info to go on, namely what your opponent does on flop and turn..

Just saying. Not ruling out 3-barrel. I'd be 3-barreling 76s here. (And I got there on the river:D, but I'd bluff any river with that.)
