[2-4]: Should you bluff this River?
Villain is a guy I've seen for the first time that day (didn't speak the language). I haven't seen him bluff once and iirc only raise with nutted hands. He seemed very comfortable though, and like he had a lot of money. He straddled most of the time, including this hand. Maybe 55yo.
BN Hero 450€
Straddle/UTG Villain ~3000€
Hero is dealt Q♣T♥. Hero opens 20. Villain calls.
Flop (46€): 3♦3♥6♦
Villain checks. Hero bets 22. Villain calls.
Turn (100€): 6♥
Villain checks. Hero checks.
River (100€): K♥
Villain checks, Hero ???
Flop and Turn seemed straight-forward to me; Flop I definitely want to cbet, Turn seemed like a bad card to continue. But now what? Do we check or bluff, and if we bluff, how large do we make it?

We not bluffing Ax or better to fold.
Unless you jam even then he has some 3x 6x sometimes.
We are only bluffing chops, bet like 15~20 or something to get him off chops.

Why would he fold a chop to 1/6 pot?
I'm probably folding Q-high to any bet rather than call with hopes to chop.
V has made it clear he doesn't have a 3 or a 6, but then again so have we. Our only hope is to rep the King hard and hope we don't get looked up by Ax or 44+. Twenty won't do.
How much would you bet with KQ? Maybe about that amount.
Realized I forgot the reveal, oops.

I thought I could get V to fold an Ace, and even a pocket pair, if I size up. I bet 110 into the 100 Pot. Villain insta-calls. I show because I want to see his hand, and he shows A♠K♦ ¯\_(ツ😉_/¯
It’s a good bluff, that’s not the hand we were targeting.
