Questions below.

$0.10 NL - Holdem - 2 players

Hero (SB): 100 BB
BB: 263.8 BB (VPIP: 80.00, PFR: 15.00, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 22)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5♦ A♠

Hero raises to 3 BB, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) J♥ 5♥ 4♦
BB bets 5 BB, Hero calls 5 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

for that big donk, in HU, can I fold my middle pair top kicker in position?
I noticed people are more aggressive on those J-high or T-high boards (even fishes). My plan there where to call the flop and only continue OTT, if I improve.

Turn: (16 BB, 2 players) 2♣
BB checks, Hero checks
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

In my mind, I had no business betting here. I have a marginal hand with some SD value.

River: (16 BB, 2 players) A♣
BB checks, Hero bets 7.6 BB, BB calls 7.6 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Now, I bet almost all J (except AJ), any naked A and loose for a random 3.
How big should I bet here?

Spoiler

BB mucks J♣ 6♦ (One Pair, Jacks)
(Pre 40%, Flop 80%, Turn 89%)
Hero wins 29.7 BB

HU play is a completely different thing. I don't play it.
Flop cbet is very big, but HU you should probably call as you did.
I believe you should bet bigger OTR.

Flop is a donk lead, because our hero is the pre-flop aggressor in the hand.
Based on his lead I would expect he will have flush draws and top pair and better in his range and is folding most likely a little bit better I think against a loose passive player. On the river you can easy bet like 8-10bb against him for value and if he would raise you can still fold. I expect he will only raise with better. Even in a HU game.
