I dont see much sense raising my delay, besides 1/3 induces.
My line of thinking: his range in turn becomes 66 :diamond: :diamond: and maybe AK/AQ, ATs as bottom range... A6 I dont see it in his calling range as he called BUvs MP/UTG 0/11 (AJ sets FDs/SDs he will probably bet in flop)

After his overbet river I discard TPs and I give him 66 or nothing

I would just bet OTF. As played you appear quite weak.

Why bet flop? I dont really like it, what if he calls? whats the plan?

As played if I appear weak and villians line doesnt make sense, then is a good spot for bluffcatching?

It is a single raised pot, that A hits our range very hard. It is just a standard cbet here. We should bet here because we will get called by worse hands + we get a lot of folds too. If villain calls, I think we can bet small OTT or x/f.

Here you appear weak but I wouldn't say that villains line doesn't make sense. He is polarized here and has some air because of your flop play but he has a lot of strong hands too. By checking the flop you failed to narrow down his range and now we don't know what to do.

What comes to bluff catching, turn raise is very strong. QQ is not very good bluff catcher in this situation. I might bluff catch with TPTK since villain is repping a very strong range. Otherwise we are catching villain too wide and our river call efficiency will be bad and we lose money in the long run.

I like the x otf and keeping villain range wide. If he calls it will be difficult for hero to continue. The only value hand that plays like this is 66 - 3 combos. He should have enough busted draws (even complete air) to make the call otr OK.

I need some good reasoning to believe that checking flop would be ok. The board is drawy and villain will call our flop bet with a lot of worse hands. This means that we miss some value and let villain hit his possible draw for free.

So, what is the plan - bet flop, bet turn, x / c river if blanc?

After flop bet I think betting turn is ok. It will have good fold equity, still some weaker hands and draws will keep on calling. Another option is to check call turn, villain will be stabbing us with weaker hands and draws quite often so calling is not bad there.

OTR it gets more tough and it depends a lot on villain I guess. Vs calling stations I think it is not bad to bet very small OTR, vs aggro we can check call and vs passive I think we should check fold.

We bet flop as we have a lot of Ax in our range. If called, we can try to re-draw with our BD, otherwise we x/f. We cannot have a better plan than this as wel indeed appear weak otherwise.

We should be betting Axx flops. When we check we lose initiative, show weakness and will not know what to do if villain bets...
