Preflop: Hero is UTG1 with K♠, K♦
Hero raises, 7 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.40 SB) A♣, J♣, T♦ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

Turn: (4.20 BB) 9♥ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

River: (8.20 BB) Q♠ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets

Against a loose player in the big blind I feel that on the flop I could be facing just about anything so I raise. Particularly with a number of draws in BB's range. I'm not as sure about the turn raise here Though I think there are still hands like QJ or KJ in his/her range.

As a default I like to let him barrel and just call him down. You don't need to be afraid of straight draws as you block two kings and get a straight by yourself with a Queen.

With a read that he likes to donk the flop a lot with all pairs, I don't mind the raise to get more value. You still have to keep in mind that he can have Ax or two pairs.

As played I think the turn raise is a bit optimistic. Can't be that bad though, he could definitely play QJ, QT, Q9 this way that improved on the turn and are good enough for another donkbet in his eyes.

I like a calldown more, you can't really fold to a 3bet and it's useful to see what he has. Also, he could have pure bluffs or weak pairs that he's bet/folding to a raise.
