I feel like I could've donked here considering our stack-to-pot ratio, but as played, how much are we check-raising to? Flatting seems bad OOP with lots of action-killing turns and us having so much behind.
Thoughts? If we c/r, how much are we betting on dry or wet turns?

C/R for sure. You are gonna get too many trash turns and you need to raise to get stacks in. Plus it's not like he's gonna pile money in unless he has a hand he likes, so he probably just gives up anyways on the turn unless he improves, or is mega tilted.
As for sizing, make it like $45-$50 and overbet - over bet jam a lot of turns since you are gonna value own yourself if you get a bad river card - as he should only pay you off if he improves, but he might be bad enough to call the turn with an overpair or set.
You can get mega coolered in spots like this if he has a hand like AhTh - AhKh.
