Default teach me how to play big stack poker - big draw with 200BB

New to the table at Absolute (can buy in for 200BB), unknown villain.

At a 100BB game, I think my turn play is pretty easy given my new gutshot straight draw - push into villain's bet. But with big stacks like this, pushing (~180BB) seems a little ridiculous (or is it?). I realize that he is donk betting me, should I be raising to say $75-100 or is this pricing me in to a 3bet push?

I'd appreciate comments on any streets.
