3/6 6 max
As the title implies... I'm dealt Q2 crub in the biggie.
Button open limps. Which is as much of a read as I had/you need. Small blind calls. He is loose and terrible. He seemed passive but I didn't have many hands on him. Definitely goes too far, definitely calls down too much.
EDITED TO ADD: like calls down with busted draws with as little as Q high
The flop read: 2spade 6spade 3crub
villain bet, I raised, button folded
The turn brought an 8heart.
Check, bet, call.
At the river: 10heart
Donk.
I... ?
I just muck here expecting him to have a higher pair a lot.

I think I muck on the flop in this small pot. The bet seems useless unless we know that SB is aggressive enough to commonly bet a draw or overs here. The fact that he is a donk actually puts you in worse shape, as this [censored] board is more likely to have caught him.

with the bd flush draw and pair with overcard i'm not folding the flop and calling is wrong.

didn't you raise to get a free card? take it. you have already said he is calling you down whether he is on a draw or has a made hand, so there is no such thing as fold equity on the turn against this guy. pot is small. turn did nothing to improve you. a pair of deuces is only a bluff-picker-offer, induce a bluff.

i raised to buy myself outs and fold equity.
w/o a frush draw i'm donking the turn to try to fold villain U/I, (folding a hand with outs against me)
i also bet the turn intending to take a free showdown U/I
i'm really wondering if there's any value in bluff raising here.

The way you played it I definitely muck the river. I think you really have to consider checking the turn and then picking off a bluff on the river. I think giving a free card is not so dangerous on the turn because it is unsure whether you are ahead or not.
