This player is pretty aggro and craze and I saw him bluff cbet before on dry boards so I assumed that he would do the same so I decided to take defensive approach. I don't know really why I raised (had no time to think coz I was bubbling on other tables) and still don't know if it was worth of any protection and value. After a Flop c/r I think I should have chosen to control the pot and b/f on a safe card or consider c/c small on a bad card like a K or a Q. I felt committed OTR and pushed

Spoiler

and lost to a runner-runner fd which got won't let me to sleep tight at least tonight)))

You can also consider to 3bet against him pre-flop, but further I would play the hand the same way.

Can you, guys, explain me why want want to raise OTF besides the geometry of the pot? Were other reasons I listed correct?

If he's super aggro he will still call with worse OTF after a c/r so you're just getting extra value, I cant really see you needing much protection, the only draws are gutshot SD's
I think you played it well, unless hes an aggro player that always cbets, but folds to raises, against that opponent then I'd c/c it down

Against an aggro player once you've c/r OTF on that runout you want to get it all in
