Default 50NL: I get in a muddle trying to control pot

Villain 65/7. He's on a huge heater, but may very well be the worst player I've come across at 50NL.

Flop: I raise for value against TP type hands, but don't want to bet so much that I chase him out.

Turn: Suddenly, the pot is huge, I have 1 pair, and I get cold feel about pot committing. This guy loves c/r too so that was in my mind.

River: Meh, so he had AJ or conceivably KQ, TJ, Ax. Whatever, I'm beat.

What I cannot work out is raising the flop and then NOT betting turn. That just seems wrong. And yet, pot committing myself with 1p also seems wrong: I'd need to have bet half my stack on turn. Should I just have done that against this donk? Or did he hit a 3 outer and I just got a bit unlucky?


Thanks.
