sounds good, except inconsistent with below - he's c-betting all of this right? by the same reasoning he is raising when you donk.

OK, let's say I checked the flop, assuming he would c-bet, and he does. Does a c/r not look way too strong on this board allowing him to get away from hands that he otherwise might not have if I let him raise my donk and then 3bet?

Above i was simply pointing out that a cbet is in fact highly likely, so you don't need to be scared that he won't cbet. It definitely doesn't mean that checking is optimal, it instead lets you think ok, am i better donking or check-raising.

i like your reasoning here. Mostly cos if you check-raise he's going to be calling not 3betting and there are loads of turn cards that may terrify either of you.
that's why:
