Donk bet at river, is a raise here chip spewing?

This donk is so moronically stupid that I'd raise. I HATE donks. So much.

Don't underestimate the power of the donk.

A raise will only get 3-bet by JJ (or another set) here. You will rarely have to figure out what to do with a 3-bet.

You've been representing AK at every street, unless he's a total moron he must realize that this is what you have.

Nah, there are so many hands a good player would play this way, for instance TT or AQ.

Check/call, check/call, bet is often a way ahead/way behind line. It is designed to win the maximum from worse hands when you are ahead -- let the preflop aggressor continue his bluff -- and minimize loses when behind. I would not at all be surprised if villain had something like KT here.

Whether villain is good enough to use this line, I dunno.

He might also have hit two pair or maybe a set of jacks, but I find most people will try for a checkraise in that spot.

You're usually ahead. Raise.

Thanks for the replies everybody. The villain had been fairly passive throughout, and as one of the posters mentioned, I thought I had represented a fairly strong hand throughout so the donk bet confused me. I then took my standard confused line which is to immediately call without thinking through--I thought I have been missing some standard value bets here and there--I'll work on plugging that leak. Thanks again for the feedback.

Oh, villain had KQ and MHIG.
