Live - Double flush board, are we bluff catching river?

2/2 live, back to our local room, high rake but lots of aggro fishes.

Rock straddle for 5 out every hand in weird positions.

Villain is a bit fishy, more on the passive side, but has seen him make some aggressive plays before.
Hero is a known uber nit to villain.

Effective 400

Co(Aggro fish) rock straddles for 5.
V in btn limps.
some limper
Hero limps in HJ w/TT83
CO opens to 25
all call

4 way pot 100
Flop T6A
all check
Were we supposed to donk?? I didn't know much about CO except he's young white guy who's a bit crazy/wide preflop, postflop can get aggro with draws.
There aren't many good turns, if we get called, we hate life on most turns?

Turn 8
Hero bets 50(were we supposed to check again?).
V calls(V always ship with nuts here, no he doesn't have AA as well, so he has some draws or A8 only since we block 88)

Pot 200
Riv 2
Hero checks
V bets 150. (No he doesn't thin value baby flushes here, either Q/K flush or bluffs)
Hero???
Now that I think about this, maybe we should balance our river checking range here with some nuts. It seems we never get paid when we continue firing. lol

Just fold pre. Your hand is trashy mw. High rake. Not in position. Not closing the action. It's all against you.

Good check on the flop. Just assume CO has all AA in range and you'll do great. All donking does is help him play better. That you consider it without an A and something significant (set, aces up, clubs, straight cards) is poor thinking.

Bad bet ott. It's still very mw. A new straight arrives but we don't block it. Instead we block our outs when behind. And a new suit for all our friends to connect with. Yikes.

Just fold river. Out best bluffcatchers have clubs in them. If this guy is wildly bluffing river then I'd want a straight blocker. Our pair blockers aren't doing enough imo.
