I've been getting great cards on the table so I have a very wild image. Villain is a pretty bad player and I am convinced that he wants to take a stand (that's what I remember now. I don't know exactly what he had done that I thought that. But I was pretty sure).
His stack size makes it inavoidable to get it all-in if he has a hand that he wants to felt. I don't want to overbet push and I don't want to pay off when a draw comes in. So I decide to stack-a-donk which I think will be pretty successfull because of my assumption that he is taking a stand and therefore is pretty likely to have a sub-par hand and bet the turn in any case. In hindsight I realize the drawiness of the board, but I can't really imagine that the turn card has helped him. I actually think that the drawiness will make it more probable that he will stack off with a draw. So I decide to risk giving a free card. If he had taken it, I would have known pretty sure that he was on a draw or had a mediocre hand that wouldn't have payed off anyway. So what's your line? 3bet the flop? Lead turn? C/C turn? What does his bet sizing make you think? Tarp or weakness?
Villain was running 30/5/2.2 over a tiny 20 hands sample, fwiw.
