Opponent likes open limp and makes weird raise. On flop I get top two pairs and after donkbet for 1bb opponent I big raise here and get call. Turn is very bad because complete flush draw but still get value from worse aces up or Ax and something with one diamond. On river I think bet but no much from get some value from Ax (I read about that check back here with top two/sets is lost value) and I get check-min raise. In my opinion he does it with flush so I decide fold.

You could make very painful fold OTR. Your opponent seems passive and when passive player jumps even against min raising your top2 wont be good most of the time.

Exactly not easy fold, but must do that, call and watch better hands can tilt later.

A small donk on the flop usually means a draw that wants to see a cheap turn. And it actually works very well and they get away with it a lot of the time because many regs usually make the huge mistake of just calling. Actually you should raise anything that wants to continue here. I like your raise on the flop and I would even go a little bigger with such a strong hand because they don't fold, more like $0,22-ish.

OTT, I go with my population read and checkback, with the plan to go for value if he checks the river again or bluff-catch if he bets river.

I don't hate betting the turn, I can get behind the idea. He can still have some straight draws or Ax that decided to donk flop.

OTR we decided to go for thin value which is fine as played. When he min-raises it's an easy fold. A min-raise is fish language for the nuts. Given our flop-read, we can easily fold now. We beat nothing and he never bluffs.

I prefer the bet, checkback, bet/bluffcatch line - although how you played it it's also fine.

Seems well played. Especially against a passive villain you can easy bet for value on the river, but read less it's tough to fold top 2 pair on the river. I expect villain could over play weaker 2 pair hands and against a min raise you get decent odds.
