Only saw villain play 8 hands. Not much or reads.
The flop raise, was it the best idea. He might donk with TPTK/TPGK and the sets. So is raising bad because he folds worst and continues with at the worst TT-88/JT
ON the turn I checked because I had put opponent on some Jx. And saw no value in betting.(did consider b/f)
River he bets pot and at this point it looked like a fullhouse/ trips.
So question. Is raising the donk bet the best plan. Is b/f ever a good idea on that turn. Is it a Clear fold on river ?

This is totally fine imo. Raising the flop is great as long as you're bluff-raising against a lot of donkbets on this type of board. Checking the turn avoids building the pot against Jx and likely squeezes value out of smaller pocket pairs. On the river he's c/c anything that you can get value out of and I doubt he's bluffing often enough that calling is a good idea, although some players do bet like this on any river if you check behind the turn, but you don't have this read, so bet river if checked to, but folding is fine.

Flop is a call.

Donk bets are fairly polar-- usually villain is asking "where are you at" with a marginal hand or Air. A small % of the time they are the nuts/sets but this is mostly in multiway pots that have some kind of draw on the board

I see no reason to consider raising flop for balance at this stake. Raise donk bets with your weak hands or air on a board this dry, flat a premium
