Recreational player opens 3x UTG in FR game with 117bb eff

Recreational cold calls MP w 117bb eff (first session playing together; my gut is he will likely have suited connectors, Axs PP's, some strong offsuit broadways in range. Don't know if he is going crazy with cold calls preflop containing offsuit combos etc.)

Basically, I feel like I could approach this spot better with recreational players in the hand. Firstly I think donking might be a good idea, as a Check/raise on this board, even against fun players, looks super strong. But by donking, they may assign us stuff like 9x, 67, 88, TT type of stuff.

I least like just calling the flop, and think maybe even going for small check raise, anywhere from 2x-2.5x would be reasonable, and then sizing turn and rivers small, like 1/4 or 1/3 pot looking for crying calls from 9x, TT type stuff. If we get click backed on flop, I think we can even consider folding a set, because it's likely his range is so weighted towards 99, 66 and 78s, and probably only has very very few combos of overpairs given the action.

Anyone disagree with my thoughts here?
