Line: 2/3 pot OTT when it completes a flush
In this hand I decided to take the aggressive path, there are possibly different ways to play it but I decided this line. I thank you all for yours analysis. In 24 hours I will publish the result.

Hello there dear mate, thanks a lot for sharing with us.
The Preflop
Standard. We can be 3-betting more often and flatting here less often, depending on Villain. I like the sizing too, 2.7x is a good sizing, because we are 3-betting too many
hands BB x BTN, because it is part of our stealing range, if we never polarize this range, we never make huge mistakes postflop.
Because BTN can have a lot of hands on its range is the reason we could/should be calling here with TT+ and AJs+ to protect our pretty wide range that calls BB x BTN.
the postflop
The Flop
Very good for our range and also good for Villain's range that now could be calling plenty of Jx, flush draws, a few straight draws, but we believe BTN will not display a lot of JJ here, because given the price and the position JJ is a possible candidate to be 4-betting BTN x BB but also could be flatting.
When you bet OTF and Villain calls, giving your size up for nearly 1/2 c-bet, Villain cappes its range for weak hands, because we believe that strong hands that would need protection would not be calling down here, such as 22, 88 and JJ. It is possible but not much likely.
Ac8x, AcJx, even some Ac2x are calling here, depending on Villain, besides a bunch of pocket paris are not folding as well, at least no OTF.
The Turn
It didn't change the picture very much because it double paired the 8 of clubs and we block AcKc, leaving for Villain only the AcXc and AcXx. Given we have a ton of range advantage here, most of times and we want to extract immedialy from Jx, QQ, TT, and the combo draws of flush. Yes, we are now considering that BTN/Villain capped its range for medium-weak hands and we want/need to extract ASAP.
Needless to say that when we go for 3/4 pot or overbet turn, which is one of the possible lines we are going all-in on almost every single river that it is not an Ax.
The River
Another double paired situation, which doesn't alter the picture very much, because Villain would be folding its 2x OTF or OTT, and such a big maybe some Ac2s, or Ac2d that it decided to call because of the nut draw, even so just speculation and just a few combos.
Here we don't need to worry very much if Villain hits a flush, because if Villain hits a flush there's nothing we can do, good for her/him. The same goes for the other possible coolers such as JJ and Ac8x, Ac2x that could be on this river.
Our concern is how to extract value from QQ, TT, 99, AJ, KJ, that are hands that could be sticky here. Well played, I liked very much the way was played and I would do exactly the same.
Usually I am going all-in on almost every river when I am playing 3-bet/4-bet pots and make a huge bet or an overbet OTT, for value and for bluff and on this specific river, Hero/You have a lot of bluffs that could be jamming, so IMO, even for the times we get coolered this is automatic shove.
