Fold pre, too often randoms have the very top of their range when they choose this sizing. Then, on the flop you have to play fit/fold due to SPR.

As played, you have to call flop. Think you can fold turn, Ks seems like a relevant blocker that should make you more inclined to fold.

I'm more concerned about the turn action. Not sure if I should be getting away from this.

He must have a lot of semibluffs for you to be good here or something like QJo or worse. It's a clear fold for me if I don't know how villain plays.

I can't see doing anything different here especially against an opponent who is extremely unlikely to be a nit. You are smashing hands in his value range, he can sometimes have 99-JJ, and there are plenty of reasonable bluffs in his range.
