Hm, he is a winning reg, so we should assume, that his Co-range is pretty wide. Something like 25-30% or even more...
And since I had the feeling, that he is aggro, I think, that he might call with quite some hands that have some equity. So I'm not sure, if it's sooo -EV to raise here. I get a free river and I thought, he might get a turn bet with all his hands that beat me. I can fold vs a 3bet (and he should 3bet his very strong hands) so I don't lose that much by raising.

Why should he ever think, that I slowplay or potcontrol here?

If he had a draw, he probably won't be putting you on one and probably expects you to call 99% of the time so he wont bluff.
I think his bet is for value almost always with 22/33/AK/AQ/AJ
so I would fold.
My hand really looks like a draw... so I think, that he would bluff a good amount of the time with his draws.
