Tough 1/2 river spot with set

1/2 live 10 handed, stack 550 effec with villain,

In a very limpy loose passive game, standard for 1/2. Had another hand against same villain where i called down with qq on k67k5 and he showed 55 for rivered boat. Misplayed that hand according to many of you on here. So interested to see your thoughts on this wild ride of a hand.

On the button with red 55, utg villain limps, utg+2 big fish sitting on 220 makes it 12, folds to me, i call my button, villain calls. 3 way to the flop which comes 3sjs4c, pot 39

Reason for calling, seems standard considering stack sizes. As well, villaim limps from all positions with about 75% of his holdings, so the odds of face a limp reraise were small.

Action on the flop checks to me, i check back. Thoughts? I think stabbing with the 5 of spades is much better than red 5s. Allows me to continue easier on alot of turns, plus block alot of flush combos.

Turn comes the 5c, villain checks, fish utg1 makes it 10 into 39, i raise to 50. Villain tanks and stares me down, then flats. Fish snap folds.

Raise size large as fish was very call station heavy, didnt want him block betting and get away cheap with flush draws, jx, etc. Villains line on the turn is interesting, i would think from previously play of his he would raise most of his straights on the turn being a2,62,67, all combos including off suit combos are likely in his range. I would also think he would lead most of his jx on the turn considering he would have the lead on the turn given the action. So ranging him i would expect mostly flush draws, some occasional jx, certainly sometimes straights possibly trying to trap me.

River, pot 144, comes kc, board reads 3sjs4c5ckc,

Villain proceeds to snap lead for 200. These are poker pro machines, not chips, snap is less than 2 seconds of action and thinking in this instance.

What do you do? I find it hard to put him on a hand thats worse than ours, i guess maybe 33,44, but i would think those are leading turns quite often. Same with kj which is certainly a possibility, but again seems unlikely he checks twice with that hand. In the previous hand i mentioned, he made a similar donk lead on the river when rivering the effective nuts, however that was in a pot half the size, where i showed substantially more weakness. He bet 65 into 75 i believe it was in that spot.

All things to consider. Some help would be great.
