Default Donking my flush draw

MP is 38/15 and a bit passive postflop over ~100 hands. Am I doing ok here?

Sometimes, but my standard play with top pair would be to c/r flop or turn I think.

its very bad imo. it wouldnt be so bad w/ some history against a bluffy tag. that's as good a card/board as any to turn 88 into a bluff.

I don't like the donk lead as it looks like what it is, a cheap bluff with a weak made hand or a draw. Check-raising is better and more consistent with how you would play a decent made hand. Check-raise semi-bluffing flops and leading the turn puts a lot of pressure on medium pocket pairs and ace highs the might decide their hand is no good.

The river is a fold to the raise. Betting is certainly correct but so is the fold that should follow.
