Default 50NL: Like my stack a donk on drawy board?

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.

meh... this board is drawy and villain is a play-happy donk who can raise our flop bet with a wide range including draws? I'm gonna say 3bet the flop here.

As played probably lead the turn for value and protection given wet board texture.

Bet more on the flop and 3bet over his raise. He'll call with any Q and god knows what else given the texture of the flop and your image.

As played, lead the turn unless you're really sure he'll bet most of his range.

FWIW, I was like 80% sure that he'd bet the turn there.
Argument for my line: His betting range is wider than his calling range for a 3bet there since is trying to make a move, imo, and I want to snap off the 2nd barrel. What do you think about that?

If you 3bet this flop and he pushes. Do you think it would be a good call?

Against most players I would not call a push with TPTK. I would have to have seen evidence that he really overbets his hands. Based on a sample of only 20 hands and not having seen this I would fold.

I like the call on the flop, however i would only check turn if i was certain he is going to bet it. If hes looking to take a stand with a kq/kj/qj hand hes going to call a bet on the turn.

as played ... wait for results.

If you are so sure he will bet the turn if checked to (which btw I think is a reasonable assumption at 50NL), then I like your turn line. 3bet the flop tho.

if you are sure he´s just taking a stand your line is fine b/c villain is going to bet the turn for sure... i´d play it the same and c/rai is no that much of an overbet and villain is prob going to stack off pretty light.
