Default Flopping a draw vs a tilter

Since I started playing shorthanded (since yesterday) I've been getting into these types of situations below more and more. How would you guys play a draw like this? The pot is awfully small, is it worth it to try to hit? Obviously I made up for the small pot here, but in general should I let these go? Let them go just versus passive players and play them against aggressives? My read of the villian is 'out to get me'. I'd just recently outplayed him in 3 nice/decent pots in a row and now he's going real aggressive against me. He's 3-betting about 80% of my PF raises now and 3-betting overcards on the flop. Also, how would you play the river here?? Checkraise, or bet into him hoping to 3-bet? This seems pretty basic but I'd just like to get in engrained in my head once and for all.

Since you hand has no showdown value and you opponent will play back at you/not trust you, I'd just check-call as your bluffing equity is zilch and you risk overcharging yourself to draw. I'd normally lead this flop had there been no "history" with the other player.

Makes sense. Do you play the river the same or go for the checkraise??

I hadnt tried anything tricky on the river yet against him, it all was pretty standard, and he hasnt made any tricky river moves against me yet either. Most of it was on the flop/turn.

Thanks
