I feel like I've played the hand perfectly when just looking at my line.
However I'm very unsure about my bet sizing?

Is my bet sizing to big on the turn?
Is it too low on the river...
Can someone explain to me why which specific bet size is best?

I think, you can check behind, bet small, or 1/2 PS OTF.
A reason to bet is if villain folds a lot to cbets. Another reason to bet is your backdoor equity.

OTT you are polarized because you will check behind a lot of hands now, and you have an uncapped range, so betting bigger is good. In this case your equity improved, so you should barrel again, as you did. I think all bet sizes from 50% - 150% work, but bigger is preferred. You can very well overbet vs a capped range here.

OTR you have the nuts. It doesn't really look like Villain is chaising a draw. So betting big could be profitable if Villain has 2pair or a set. Could bet pot size. I don't think it makes a huge difference in EV.
