Hero bets 85 BB, fold

His river check looks a lot like he was either semibluffing a flush draw OTT or he is afraid of a straight now with 2pair or set.

So what should my river size be?

I would bet a lot smaller. He probably doesn't have many hands that can call your river bet and those that might call are afraid of the straight. Even Ax might be afraid of 6. Maybe something like 30bb would get more calls?
Without a 4 card straight out there your line might be as good. Tank a long time OTR and then overbet and hope your villain reads that as a bluff and calls with some sets. Now I think on this board he will be too scared.

The problem is that the straight is obvious.
If you think that he can call a push with Ax then push.
If he is more passive, bet like 1/2psb.
