As played, raising the river seems like an interesting idea given the board and villain's weak bet, but it's pretty marginal. I'm usually folding the flop to avoid situations like this early on.

If you think he can fold, then it's ok. Flop peel is pretty gross I think.

I raise preflop to not have a zillion limpers, be able to cbet against 1 opponent with respect and win a bigger pot if we hit.
On the flop pot is 210+120=330. We have to win 120/(330+120) * 100= 26.66%. We have (very likely) 4 Queens, 3 Aces, 3 Kings as outs = 10 outs = 20%. Add some implied odds and being ahead some of the time I think calling is ok.
I just call river, but I don't think it's bad.

I've started raising over donk bets HU fairly often and it works more often than not. I like the raise.

You really think the K and Q of hearts are outs on the flop? The A, maybe, but the K and Q are quite dirty.

And calling the river seems like a really bad idea. What are you ever ahead of?

He only has to be bluffing 1 times in 11 or so.
But folding river is okay/better maybe.
