Post flop strategy against splashy action player, 3 bet pot monotone board.
1/2. Hero was the effective stack with 300.
Villain is a 25ish white guy, very splashy, vpips 80%, 3! not often, calling 3! relatively loose. In the 30 minutes I played with him, he once called with middle pair (A9o) on the flop all the way down to a river all in against the PF aggressor (and won), and called a 3! PF with 34s (300bb deep) and jammed on the river with a missed straight draw and lost. An action player. He top up twice within the last 30 minutes.
Back to the hand.
Villain opened from UTG+1 to 11 (his opening size varies, h cannot identify a pattern).
Folded to hero with K♣J♣. Hero 3-bet to 40 from sb.
Hero probably had a much tighter image than the other player he played multiple big pots with.
V tank called.
Nightmare flop 6♥7♥T♥
Hero planned to check fold, but it went check check.
Turn 2♠
What's our general mindset/ strategy playing against this villain type? Hero is reluctant to bluff into v because v may not even have a fold button.
Shall we check-fold, check-call, or check-raise the turn?
Anyone voting for leading the turn?
If we lead and get a call, or check-call, what's our plan on a brick river (e.g. 3♣ )out of position?
Thanks in advance.

Just give up this one.
If you bet turn you obviously have to bet river with no heart and no sdv

I would fold PF. At this raise size, solver has 1/3 raise and 2/3 fold, and I'd assume that being against a LAG puts this in the "fold" column.
Bet the flop
Seems terrible to 3b this if this is a full table he's opening into - prefer calling. On the flop I would bet - when you're betting like 1/3 pot you don't have to win that often to make money, and you have equity. Once you get to the turn it's hard to start bluffing against someone who calls light and you now have a capped range. Really you exploit these types of players by value betting thinner then you would against others, avoid low equity bluffs, and 3bing them wider for value. The only reason to 3b a hand like this is if he truly is opening an insanely wide range and will call every 3b. If he's opening and calling your 3b with a hand like K8s,K7,J8,etc you can print money when you flop the better pair.
