Villain is a complete donk and is very loose, running at 68/52/1.2 over 63 hands. He's a giant calling station and his raise on the flop makes me think he doesn't have a flush draw. I've been reading a lot of suggestions that you should size your bets in situations like these to get it all in on the turn as opposed to the river, but I'm not sure how I should have gone about sizing my bets. Any advice would be appreciated.

This ain't the greatest board to play how you did. With calling station what you want to do is to play against them with position. Out of position they just call call call and you get zippo information out of them.

Going from the guys stats he is playing any suited cards, any high card and any pair. Possibly connecting cards too.

The fact that he has minraised the flop and stayed with your raise means that he has a hand he like !ALARM BELLS!. If he is a station I am check-calling the turn (or probably letting a free card go) and check-folding the river.

Would not surprise me in the slightest if he has a combo-draw on the flop.

I know what I've just said might seem weak, but you get so many opportunities to stack these guys doing it this way is like pissing into the wind, you gonna get wet!
