Default line check

I usually don't call with J7 in the blinds but UTG is a huge donk, MEGA calling station, etc. I just wanted to get into a hand with him

First question is should i call OOP with a hand like that against a mega donk or just wait for a better spot.
Second question is, once he calls that flop checkraise i know he has a ace. I also know he is not folding that ace to a turn bet. So do you guys think i should fire on the turn or just check and try to see the river cheaply. if i don't hit my draw i am just check folding river.

Bet/3bet AI on the flop (use your fold equity), check the turn (it sucks when he shoves over) and call a reasonable bet (&lt;3/4 pot or so)

River is nice

Flop - UTG isn't betting without an A but someone will raise if they have the A so I prefer b/3b even though most villains are calling a push with an A

Turn - C/c is a lot better because getting raised and shutout here would suck a lot

River - I like but what is your line if the river is a brick/J/7?

i like a lead on the flop as mentioned. as played, a bigger raise is needed, at least to 6. check turn and bet river as played.

I did the checkraise on the flop because he was c-betting 100% of flops, so i figured i would just snap of a c-bet. but when he called i knew i was behind.
I agree the bet/3bet line would be better. also, if i bet the flop and he calls do i fire the turn or check it?
thanks for the input

pf isnt the best, but disregarding that...

flop is fine. b/3bing is fine as well. turn is fine. river is standard.
