River: ($0.28) Q♥ (2 players)

What do you think about my river play? I didn't want to miss a value so I decided to overbet pot in case he hit Q OTR.
As played, is my donk overbet appropriate there?

Thanks in advance.

I would only over bet if you think he isn't capable of folding a random pair. Otherwise I would just bet arounfd half pot.

I would fold preflop.

When villain checks OTT he looks a bit weak. OTR you need to figure out a bet size that villain could actually call. If villain did hit that Q he might call something like half pot but he might be folding against an overbet.

BTW, your bet is not a donk as villain checked OTT
