Small Blind...
I have a few note off the guy calling louse the 3bets,so i 3bets him wider(KJo).With a 2 pair K in AdKQd board im in front off his suited diamonds conectos,his pocket pair and some Kx suiteds(he calls me a 3bet with K9h in other hans and beats me with doubles). so i deside to Cbet,when doubles the A in turn is less probable that he has an A now,so i make a 2 barrel to make his flushdraws fold. in the river complete the flush and i have 2 option,a blockig bet(but the pot is so big allready that even iff i bet 25% i cant fold to the push anymore),or X/Call blufees or X/fold,wath do you guys would have do?

Hello there freddydr87 what's up? Thank you for sharing your hands with the CardsChat community!
Let me get straight to the point: before asking what you should have do in the river, you should ask what have you done preflop, flop and turn.
I think your 3bet preflop is okay, because you said your adversary was spewy. The 3bet preflop is important because it will affect our decisions postflop. We should not play a 3bet pot the way we play a single raised pot.
Button calls the 3bet and now we have 21 blinds in the pot and we make a 10.5 blinds C-bet pot, which is very large size for a 3bet pot. Although you are very aware that are many Turns that are going to kill your actions.
You are aware that Villain would never fold its flush draws and gutshots, no matter price, so for a lot of reasons, I would check this flop.
Remember that you are playing against a player that cannot be bluffed, so we should let it bluff us, instead of putting money in the pot.
In the Turn the ace isn't good for your range. You may argue that because you have the K and the J we are blocking most of Ax combinations of villain, but even so, Villain would have a lot of aces in a spot like that and we have none.
Again, in the turn you make a very big bet, when you could be already behind of a lot of hands. Knowing that these guys love to play any ace and to continue postflop with a lot of junk.
I wouldn't bet the turn either, because I only have Top Pair in a very complicated and coordinated board.
In the river I don't see many hands that we are ahead, so, if I didn't invest very much, against a player who loves to bluff and put chips in the middle, I would have an easy fold.
However, the line played preflop, flop and turn made us commited to the pot and it was very hard to fold river here, given that Villain seems some aggro donkey.
But even when we are commited we can fold this! Remember we are not playing GTO against the best players in the world! This is 2 NLHE! We can make a fair chunk of unbalanced playes without compromissing our winrate. Unbalanced checks, unbalanced folds and unbalanced bet sizes, this is how we exploit weaker players.
I will repeat: it doesn't make much sense to charge flush draws, OESDs or gutshots knowing that will never fold! And when it completes their
equity in the river we MUST fold. Put a not in guys like that, this is the classic "Flush chaser", the guy will pay a lot with its flush draws and when it misses, sometimes, they are going to shove river, trying to represent anything.
Some players will never fold any flush draw even if you shove all in flop. So decide what is the better for you. In my personal game, I don't like entering into high variance spots against flush-chasers, flush-bluffers types.
