V is a standard drooler.
#H:55, VP:26, PR:0, AF:12, Donk:75
Do we stack off here everytime against a guy who donks all the time? Is it better to just call with 2 ppl behind us and re-eval river? Can we raise smaller and fold to a jam?

I think it's a clear fold.
If the guy's a drooler, this is a flush, a set or some fish-tacular 2pair that he want's to get it in with to "protect his hand against the draws".
At the very least he has some kind of flush draw in which case you have some equity but not a lot. His range crushes you: if you include all the made flushes, sets, 2pairs, all you're beating is flush draws and you lose some of the time against them too.
I don't think you played the hand badly (unless you called the shove
), there are a pile of KQ, KJ, KT etc type hands that call the bet, and you have position so if more scary flush cards come you can decide what to do on later streets accordingly.
I had a similar spot this morning.
This player had stats like 54/2/3.5 over 35 hands. Theres just no reason to get heavily involved in this spot - you'll get a better opportunity for sure. Maybe my fold is too nitty. Maybe he overbets some Kings with weak kickers "for protection". But what can I do? Call Call Call over 3 streets and pray that my king holds up? Just wait for a better spot - this guy's sure to give you one.
