Pushed my luck or standard?

Hand like these are definitly one of my biggest leaks but Ill give it a shot. I feel the flop is very read dependent. I want to know what kind of hands villain has been donk betting with. Against an unknown I would raise the flop, bet the turn and take free showdown ui, but again others can probably help you alot more with this.

What were you planning on doing if you didnt improve on the turn?

I wasn't planning anything.

I suck at hands like these thats why i post them

I'd probably fold without a spade on turn.

i would raise the flop to first see how strong the other guy is (to see if he 3 bets or not) and to second to hopefully get a free river card. read sklansky's book on small stakes because it goes into more depths for the free card play

This really isn't a situation that the free card play applies too...

on the river, can you fold to a 3-bet?
probably not.
should you?
should you raise or get the over call from SB?
do you get called enough still by both?
just asking.

I don't raise the flop.
