Default $6: NLTRN: Call down or raise

My opponent here was one who donkbet the majority of flops against my preflop raises, and would bet the turn and river (although we'd only been in one spot where he bet all three streets before this hand; he had bet flop/turn several times). Anyways, the flops I'd raised, he had folded, so I decided to play more passively. But, the big question is, against these types of players (and I seem to see them a lot), should I be calling flop and turn, or raising the turn?

Also, in this spot, I needed to fold the river right? Even though my read was that my opponent was very unpredictable.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (2 handed)

BB (t1670)
Hero (t1330)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, BB calls t40.

Flop: (t120) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t60</font>, Hero calls t60.

Turn: (t240) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t80</font>, Hero calls t80.

River: (t400) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t400</font>, Hero calls t400.

Final Pot: t1200

Considering the weak bets on the flop and turn, it is fine to c/c/f.

not rasing flop puts you into so so many hard situations, especially against someone unpredictable. raise flop to protect your hand and wait for a better spot to trap.

If have seen him bet a lot of flops and turns I think calling here on the flop is a decent play to extract a bit more value. The flop seems somewhat harmless. I do however think you should really raise him on the turn.

You ask if you should fold the river.. Not sure. A LOT of opponent uses a PSB river bet as their standard weapon to take down pots.. I guess this depends a bit how loose you feel his preflop calling range is when OOP.
I tend to call such bets with tPgK when the opponent seems wild and crazy.

I'm not too sure about the average $6 villian but I am raising the flop. If not the flop, then the turn for sure.
