Your preflop call is too loose. What is the reason for calling that wide?
What is the reason for the donk?

This call looks a bit too wide. I would rather 3bet it as a bluff.
Board is paired and dry, I would just check call here because any other line will make villain fold too much stuff and we will isolate ourselves against stronger range.
As played I guess turn is ok.

I consider myself a semi tight aggressive player.
I know that donkbetting vs unknown leads to us getting 3bet more than getting a fold, so i usually dont donk for information, I donk to induce a bet. from all Kx, and pocket pair, that may fold to my check-raise.
getting a call there, I thought iam usually against Kx, TT+, Jx, and some QT.
but what am i going to get action from on turn?
What hands would play for stacks on the turn?

Being too loose preflop, I am not calling J9s everytime i am dealt J9s in the blinds, But. lets say that 20% I call, 80% I fold.
I usually play pp, broadway suited and Axs from the blinds, But, I dont want to be thaaat ABC either, I am a maniac hiding behind a tight image :).

I usually play PLO, If, I bet or x/r and a player stay, it is ALWAYS KK, and a lot of KJ. I means hands that call flop, bet turn.
But in texas, it should be the same but a weaker range added to it with a J, Jx, KJ,KK

J9s is almost a standard call BB vs MP 3X for me, so I don't mind that you called. If we don't want to call, then we can 3bet bluff with that hand. I would check/call the flop. Usually there is no reason to donkbet in heads up pots, except you want to bluff vs players that fold too much to donk bets or you want to get value from players who raise donkbets too much.

As played, I would bet the turn and when he raises, I believe we can call or shove. I would rather call, though, because his raise seems like a bluff (no reason to raise fullhouses) and if he has better Jx, we have outs for the river. For me, the only situation where shoving is better is if we believe that he has a flushdraw, but it's not very likelly he will semi-bluff with it on paired board.

Folding preflop is way too tight when 113 bb deep holding suited almost-connectors. But calling requires playing well postflop. My personal donking range is extremely polarized, and would not include this hand.

As played, note that he raises you on turn and not on the flop. The purpose of a donk is to provoke an immediate raise from a weaker hand that thinks it "protects". This is rarely the case when he waits until turn. The turn shove is a disaster.

The thing you did right was to river a full house.

preflop is 3b or fold imo. I think calling flop-turn and raising river is good.
