New to format. How should I of played it? flop and turn bets ok? should I of r/f river kind of small to block and for value?

X/r flop. As played, wp

I wouldn't c/r the flop but bet more, like 74% of the pot to charge the draws? On turn I wouldn't bet pot but again 74 or drop to 64%. River looks fine.

x/r flop. fine as played.

Ok. Would that be your play readless? What if villain c bet frequency is on the low side? When and vs who would you donk here instead of c/r?

I'm new to this format are c bet frequency dropping in spin player pools like they are in other game types?

I like to donk with 2 pair type hands for these reasons :-

Our hand is very strong right now and we can stack off.

most villains seam to react really badly to donks.

most peeps donk bets in player pool seam to still be probing, weak to middle strength hands. so even regs that don't know us can respond badly.

Our hand is very unlikely to improve but fairly likely to be caught up.

Is there a problem with my rational or am I only considering one side of the see saw?
I will occasional donk bluff if I don't think it connects with a players range and he is going to over fold. Although I concede I definatly do not donk bluff enough to be balanced. I do c/r some times for value and as a bluff and c/s as semi bluffs depths allowing.

Sorry if my questions are very nooby, I'm just trying to ensure I'm not formulating lines for psychological reasons (i.e. to over protect my hands from being caught up) as opposed to maximising E.V.
