I think folding on turn seems ok. Because do you really think he potting there with some flush draws? Ok he is a agressive fish some of this type of guys doing this with flushdraws i also saw some players doing this. Ofc your unblock the flushdraws but if you also say that he is a fish and most of them if they betting like this it looks pretty strong (Value). It really looks like a classic fish play who wanna say you "I have a set and want to protect it vs a flushdraw with a stupid pot bet there." Also this board is not really connected only a flushdraw so he can have mor sets in his range i guess. I only see one really strong hand what is he maybe potting there with a draw and that is J10 in club.

You also have to keep in mind that AA arepreflop the best hand in the game, but postflop often loses in equity unless you have a set. It follows that you have to fold AA too. As hard as it sounds.

Well, it looks like a fish play from him. OTF like this and on 2/3 cbet, he won't really often raise you with air, because you are OOP and UTG is very tight and on board like this, you will cbet for value or like a bluff (probably semibluff with some FD) so you will fold on his raise all bluffs and call strong hands. So OTT you have a very strong range and if it's a fish then I suppose he will bets river as well, so fold turn or call turn and river too. But I prefer fold T and write some notes about his play.

The turn card does not change anything, so we cannot fold there.
Hands that make sense are 99, 22 and some combo draw...

I think you can easily play bet/call OTF and x/r shove OTT. That's what I'd like to do vs overaggressive opponents.
And I dissagree with above mentioned post that turn is a fold. It's never a fold.

Never folding turn. AP not folding river.

CR turn seems kinda sexy. He can for sure be raising combo draws and strong kings for protection on the flop. CRAI on turn puts all of those holdings in a tough spot. Will you run into the occasion set/weird 2 pair.....sure but I think getting the stack in on the turn is your best option.

Snapcall vs aggressive fish
Wouldn't even consider folding anywhere , especially not the river .

You didn't include the reads that confirms he is one but I assume you've seen him do some spazzy stuff, the stats don't really tell us anything
