Only been with villain for about 20 hands but he's been at about 60/20/2.

Standard against bad players who you don't have a reason to believe will take a stab at the river with air or a worse hand?

This guy has been pretty aggro over 20 hands. I probably just check with the plan of calling most rivers UI.

If I bet instead, I would grudgingly call a checkraise and then fold UI on the river.

If I bet and Villain donked the river, I would call.

I think a turn check is the way to go. It's tough to fold to a turn c/r with so many possible outs against this guy. Our hand isn't super vulnerable, if we're ahead, the only hand with more than a few outs against us is a fd. They also may fold alot of hands that we beat, when they may bet the river ui with those hands. I check the turn and call any river.
