Yes this is early but I don't think its right to only bluff strictly on reads ("find out what exactly he's donking with 1st" - well the problem is I won't know exactly what he's donking with for awhile if ever (cuz it can change), plus he already donked before this so I'm assuming he can do it with a wide range).

My thought process:
There are a lot of missed draws that I can get to fold.
He didn't 3bet preflop so QQ and high Q's should be ruled out.
88 only has 1 combo.
A8 type hands seem silly to play this way, especially because he cannot have 8dXd.
My hand looks like an 8, 99-JJ, Q, Overpair and I would think a random Q would be checking here or atleast betting smaller as its hard to get value out of worse.
My hand could easily be a missed draw so there is more value for villain to check and induce a bluff.

So the only hands that kinda make sense that is vbetting this river and calling a shove are 86s, Q8, and 66.

Is this spew and should I just stick to learning more about villain before making a play like this?

I don't like to make elaborate bluffs in the first 20-30 hands..seeing as people are more call prone.

It looks like you have a queen that wont give up, and his turn lead looks like two pair that doesn't want you to fold

I also dont expect people to fold TP or even 2nd pair vs me early
