Default Overpair on scary board

Here is a hand I had yesterday. My logic on the flop here was with the dangerous draws out there, I'd call the flop and bet a blank on the turn(fold to a turn raise). With the A falling, I figured there is a good chance I'm ahead, enough to be ahead of all draws and jacks. I didn't want to give a free card, so I donk bet. I had yet to have a read on the villian here. On the river, I figure I'm good enough getting 8.75 to 1 due to the villains turn action. How is my line?

Just 3-bet the flop. The board isn't that scary and once the button raise it's HU. You shouldn't be thinking about folding here, you will have the best hand a ton of the time. 3-bet for value, to charge possible draws, and to avoid giving free cards.

I think this is right thinking if the pot was multiway. But since it becomes HU on the flop, the flop 3 bet is the way to go. because you are ahead of the draws, so get those bets in there for value.

I also 3-bet the flop and lead the turn. With no reads I would check-call the river. The flop isn't that scary. He is calling two cold preflop so against the average player he probably doesn't have much of a hand at this point. Possibly a flush draw of course. But you're still ahead, so charge him for it.
