Bet 5.8bb. The T is a neutral turn, and after our opponent checks we can apply heavy pressure to a range full of A-high and marginal hands—especially targeting Ax. If we had a hand with more equity, we'd be better of checking back and realizing that equity on rivers. We also have strong bluffing potential on many rivers (A, J, 9, 7), plus an overcard to the Q.

Bet 9.9bb. This hand is strong enough to value bet on the 6♦ river. Our betting range almost exclusively uses this size because most of our value hands here are 8x and some overpairs. The smaller sizing is preferred since it incentivizes the BTN to call with some Ace-high hands. That said, you can certainly size up closer to pot if you believe your opponent will still call wide enough to make the larger bet more profitable.
