2/5 monster draw OOP

This hand did not play out as I had hoped.

I have 500, MP3 has ~3000, LP has 500. MP3 has been donkishly destroying the table, playing EXTREMELY loose but getting the money in goot the majority of the time. He's an older portly guy, either very good or quite awful and lucky. I'm thinking its mostly awful, but who knows.

MP3 has been very aggressive leading and betting, but not so much at raising. He takes down pots w/ a 1/2 pot sized Cbet and almost always follows with a double barrel if the first doesn't get it done. However, raising usually indicates a real hand that he considers worth THE BIG AI.

I have 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in MP1. I raise to 15 to see a cheap flop. This is ironic, if I limp, MP3 raises PF to 30-35 almost all the time. However, 3 bets have been rare so far.

MP3 raises to 30, 2 calls, I instacall.

Flop: $130ish

I lead 75, w/ intention of b/3b AI. At this point I'm pretty sure KQ, AK, AA raises this board. Doesn't work out so hot, MP3 and LP just call.

Turn: $360ish

Since nobody raised this flop I'm thinking I'm against a weakish K, or QQ just trying to get to showdown. I lead out 75 again, essentially a blocker bet. Doesn't work again. MP3 raises to 250 total. LP folds.

If I just call, I have 200 left behind. Just shove it in?
All streets appreciated, I'll fill in what happened later

River is 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I thought for 15 seconds and shoved. MP3 tanked and folded.

Standard?

How about just check and call on the flop? If you bet/3-bet, you probably won't have much fold equity, so it will be basically a coinflip. If you just call and then hit on the turn with multiple people still in, you should be able to squeeze more out of someone. Could be the play with the highest expected value.
