villain is 60/25.
haven't seen him play a big pot yet. so far he's just min bet the flop a bunch but folded to my raises each time.

would you raise the turn for value/protection? how much?
I'm thinking he plays so many hands and the turn brings lots of draws so I want to punish that, but I also don't want to have a tough decision.

i would raise the turn for sure. your hand has great equity against his calling range so build the pot. id type in about 85

I don't like his turn lead. I think there's too much chance that you're putting in money behind here to two pair or something, rather than protecting your hand. I'd probably do the same as you, call and hope for a free river showdown.

Villain usually has a low 2 pair or a worse king here.

He isn't likely to fold either so I don't think it really matters what you do.

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

re : Miffed, as played it looks very possible that Hero has a straight (something like A5/55 that bluff-raised the flop like Hero has been prone to do in recent history) so despite villain's donkishness, I don't think it's thinking too deep to say he's check-calling with a low 2 pair here. He can also have worse kings or donk-played QQ/JJ (GOd only knows how many times I've seen this lol) but since Hero has a K I'd be more likely to check behind.
