So my normal sizing would be 3/4 pot on this kind of dynamic flop. We have massive hand that does block fair amount of flop but I would still as default go for normal sizing. Personally I don't like to alter my sizing here based on my hand strength. So if I did slow play I would instead check back. But in position last to act you want to most of time bet with premium hits. Exception is mainly static boards that you hit massively. E.g. you have AKK5 and flop comes K55r.

As played on turn I would also bet bigger and call versus raise. River check is fine as villain perhaps gets tricky with straight sometimes or is suddenly just scared to value less than nuts. If he has less than straight getting value will be tough anyway usually.

Now pool is unlikely to exploit this turn spot but when I see someone using this turn sizing I tend to heavily doubt they have at least nut straight. Which could potentially induce bit lighter semi bluff raises. Again not necessarily issue on micro stake but it's also issue as general strategy. We want to be selective in barreling this turn and use big sizing.

Ehm. I think there should be some thin value otr betting small like 1/3 or 1/4 pot as an exploit. Lower sets and a decent amount of 2pairs (top-pair2pairs included) probably can't fold. We can still reevaluate against a river check-raise, it's unusual somebody would suddenly raise anything worse than secondnutstraight and we also block that with our 7♦:. No big deal though.
