Villain is 50/20/2
I checked flop because I am not comfortable getting it in vs a c/r and thought itd be better to play with a free turn... not sure if thats acceptable. Villain is obviously a donk, but even so if I get it in on the flop I dont think I'm in too good shape very often.

Given that he's 50/20/2, the easily hits his range so I understand your concern. I would still probably bet.

General question, is raising the turn bad? If he'd bet less I would certainly raise, but PSB is always little worrisome, I guess?

FWIW, I think he could even valuebet his KJ/AJ this way.
Your hand looks pretty underrepped so he could easily try to muscle you out.

Without a proper read and his range being intensily large, I would fold.

Against this player I'd probably bet call the flop. I mean 50/20/2's boarding on a maniac. You're also never drawing dead on the flop as you have you're GS straight and backdoor flush outs.

Also if villain is shoving something like a pair+straight draw you hand acts as a bloker (don't know if this is the correct term) as you hold some of the outs he needs.

raise to 240-250 on the turn and evaluate. Those stats incline me to call the river as played though feels like a bluff maybe aj at best.

I'm stacking off the flop.

As played you obv gotta call river. You might maybe raise the last bit in, not sure.
He's playing bluffs like that, top pair, etc
