Missed draw? bluff?

Been at the table a while and imo the villain is quite bad, had a 110 stack when i moved here and has since reloaded, calling with dirt

apart from that, no real read

What did my turn bet represent? I thought it would make it look like a flopped set, and if i rivered it my hand would be nicely disguised

am I the only one that doesn't play it this way.

The place to raise is the flop, if you aren't willing to raise the flop, take the great odds you are getting on the turn and just call. Exactly how do you propose to make money bluffing an idiot calling station with 8 high?

I am raising this flop everytime. Do not get your money in on a blank turn and i think a river bet is spewing.

I would lead for pot on that flop. If PF raiser raised I would be inclined to put him all-in. Is this too aggressive?

I think you answered your question. Don't bluff the river against this type of player.
