Raise the turn here?

[Ian J]

Opponent in this hand is 35/8/1.0. I often raise this turn here and become frustrated when they call and I check behind the river and they show me some middle pair. Should I be raising this turn? If I do, should I bet the river unimproved if he just calls? It seems that everyone is so showdown committed in these games that trying to move someone off a hand is pointless.

You 3-bet the flop to gain a free card, right? So now that he is on to you, you want to pay double for what was supposed to be a free card? I don't get it. You just picked up some outs that he isn't going to put you on, call here so that he bets into you on a flush river.

Anyone call this river UI? Think he is donking this 1/11 times?

I would have called his river bet. More than likely he has a high pocket pair, or a set of nines. I still would have called his river bet, incase he had an AQ or AJ and was trying to shake you off your AK. You will lose more than 50% of the time, but you should win enough to make calling ok. On the other hand, with a hand like AJs, I would still fold, because you might still lose to AK or AQ.
