Well he is a calling station and goes too far with nothing.
Ho to get the most value out of this hand? Bet more on turn and only raise his donk on the river? I thought if he'd called a raise he'd call a push too.

dont raise so much on river. raise to ~ $7. he'll only call a push if he has something. donks will often call a small raise on river because they.. are well donks

in this case i think its -ev to push river here, as you'll only get called with 88/99. I like raising to 8. You'll probably get a call 50-70% of the time.

and also id raise pf this.. i like to do that, cause u can build a pot later if u catch a set.

Why not smooth call on the flop? Chances are he'll fire again if you just smooth called then pop a pot-size bet on the turn and bet 3/4 pot on river

My bad didn't see how little the flop bet was. Looks great from there.

Bet less on river. The rest looks good to me.
