I like the aggressive line

I like the aggressive line you took with flush draw + 2 overcards to the 3, but you have to be confident that villains pot size donking range on the flop includes alot of air+overcards+naked draws.I especially like that you dont shut down after swoing initial aggression, I rlly tend to shut down a lot in these situations, maybe cause i am overemphazing the fact that i have some ok showdown value with K high.

actually there 's a flush

actually there 's a flush draw maybe for both of us ...he donks on the flop wich means a flush draw or mid pair most of the time...I reraise and he just cflat call which  build the pot and also give me info... that he  hasn't got top pair with a top kicker .then a blank on the turn and here this is crucial.. because he checks and it means he doesn't try to protect anything like trips top pair , 2 pairs or pocket pair, so here I really think he is with mid pair or flush draw (99%) so I bet huge either to take it down now or building a huge pot with flush K high on the river and he calls ! there another blank! which is wonderfull! what can he do now !mid pair and missed flush out of position ... and still enough ships left to fold... pushing one more was the only move I had to do and believe it or not I felt safe.

Well, I don't like raising

Well, I don't like raising his donk-bet with this particular hand very much.  The problem is simply, if he jams we have to fold, and if he 3bets smaller we either have to fold or get it in as a huge dog.He could easily have an 8 here, and you're also not in that good shape against a mid pocket pair that's higher than 66, plus he can also have the Ace-high flush draw.To take this aggressive get-it-in line, I'd really like to have the Ace-high flush draws with a decent kicker - 9+, so I have outs against all the PP's that usually don't 3-bet pre-flop.

This line is probably high

This line is probably high variance like you point out jack. It certainly requires that you have some assurance that his donking range includes alot of weak hands like i said. You also need to be sure you have some fold equity when you show aggression on all 3 streets without a made hand. On the flop to me it mostly looks like a 3x type hand or some low PP. But the only low PP we are afraid of is basically 77, as I would assume that 99+ gets 3-bet.Id say against an unknown a call on the flop is probably more standard, but I do think we can raise flop and even turn given the right circumstances.
