Villain is lag pre-flop and loose semi-aggressive post-flop

I figure that on the turn he is trying to drag me in for the maximum, so I fold. Too weak? Should I rather raise or call turn and possible river?

I usually call down in this spot and write in his notes "donk bet the turn with bluff/nuts/pair". Folding AK is too weak IMO, even folding K high may be too weak in this spot.

There are some players who will play a turned 8 or something like 77 this way. There are some who'll even fold their 77 if you were to raise the turn.

So the right strategy here is highly opponent dependent. I will raise here about 40 percent of the time, call about 30 percent, and fold the rest of the time.
