villain is a loose donk, you're messed for chips w/ 800 left and he checked to you, I shove the flop... As played, fold turn, you're ahead of very little now.

I think I shove this preflop. As played, I push the flop more often than not for the remaining 800chips I have and pray he doesnt have an ace. Turn is an fold always for me.

Pushing the flop is not the best option if u intend getting your chips in the middle. It folds hands you are ahead of and u get called mostly by hands you are behind.
You will get more equity from hands that you are ahead by checking and allowing them to bet the turn.

For me the turn is dependent on whether villian is capable of bluffing or not. IMO someone with 27 VPIP is going to bluff here often enough to make a shove okay but I would rather have a read rather then stats when making that descision.

i push turn , with so little left we are quite pot commited and he checked flop - good sign. Gotta get money in here and pushing flop is not good for that.

there are not many +EV lines for KK on A high flop but this one is least -ev i think.

Long way for a loose donk to limp/call something like 99-JJ preflop.
Also, long way to bet KT on the turn...
And SCs, well, might be.
Obviously 99 and TT are possible, but we seem to be behind in like 80%+ here....
