Hero is in the small blind in an 8-handed 2/5 game. Table has one whale spewing money (calling 75bb's pre with 62o and betting 5bb's on any flop.. More a giant fish than a whale.. Strayed too far from the high stakes raise-'em poker tables). The regs have adjusted to limp/call to see flops with any two hoping to stack the fish.

5 limpers, hero completes.

Flop ($35): As7d4s

Hero bets $35. Folds to a reg with 150bbs sitting in cutoff (villain). Villain is a loose aggro player who isolates fish and outplays them. We've played in loads of tourneys, but not much cash together. He's a live pro who (I think) respects my play. I've seen him showdown j3 and 104 with second pair and the like in massive pots (mostly the winning hand) so he clearly makes most of his money on later streets with good hand_reading ability. Terrible description but I'm on my phone and playing at the moment.

Aaanyway, villain raises to $120 and it folds back to me.

Villain has $600 in front of him and hero $750.

What's the correct line here? I appreciate any feedback.

I super don't like your complete. I might even use the word hate. I hate your complete. I fold here fairly often, just because he could have anything because you just completed and now you're oop with no idea what's happening.

I hate your complete.

If I raise even to 15bbs I get called by 3 or 4 players, I assure you..

Let me also add that I pretty much rule out villain having a set based on the speed and size of his raise.

Didn't you say that there's a stationy fish? You have a premium. I still don't like your complete.

It sounds like you put him on a draw and if you do I guess you could call and reevaluate turn. I'd probably do that much more often then re raising. You're pretty sure he doesn't have a set so I assume that includes any 2p+.
