Villain 38/23 but only over 15 hands.

Preflop, standard I think.

Flop, he donks just under pot, this is usually a very strong play but we have flopped well... top pair, backdoor straight and flush draws. I feel like this is strong enough to peel... at worst we are up against 2pair or set, but often he has top pair only. At worst AK, but he would 3bet that pre?

Turn, he continues potsize bet. This is where I think a fold is in order. He is much more likely to have a made hand than a draw, so I was out of line to call. Have flagged this as an area for me to look for improvement on my game.

(As played..) River, we improve, but he continues his story. Very unlikely to be a bluff, but we at least beat AK now. We also beat AJ now. Can this be a fold?

River is the main street that I was hoping for advice on. My handreading ability is quite weak still, so I was hoping that a judge could talk about how would filter villains range down from the start of the hand to this point.

Hi Vaul,

A full pot donk is generally polarized which means that he either has a strong hand looking for protection/value or a bluff.

Considering he is not really a total fish over this small sample and that he is multiway villain's range should be considered stronger for betting big into two people.

And even though you are asking about the river you should really be asking about the turn.

Look at the info: huge donk on flop 3-way, then again a huge bet on the turn on a c omplete blank... what can you really expect for the river? Yes, you should expect a shove thus you should make a decision on the turn. Do you call down or do you fold now? What do you think?
