IMO I think you overplayed AK and got lucky when MP1 bet on the turn you should have laid it down due to the fact u were always behind and had 10 outs max if you tought he was on top pair.
But there is no better feeling that sucking out haha
Anyway your playing 0.25/0.5 so your already a step ahead of me keep it up ;)

I dont see any reason to raise his donk bet on the flop. unless you have a read that he is donking with air or draws only.

Id just call flop and look to improve on turn if not fold.
As played (even though you never want to play like this anymore) raise river.

Call the Donkbet. The Board is very dry. This is a typical mistake that beginners make. They are overvalueing AK and Ax in general. And please the next time you post such a hand turn it into a viewable format. You can take the pokerstrategy.com handconverter that you'll find here:

As played folding the turn would be terrible. You have 2 overcards and a gutshot. Undiscounted you have 10 Outs. And basically you can count your overcard-out with 1,5 Out. The half of 3. So discounted you have 7 Outs and when having 7 Outs you require Odds of 1:6. And your odds were > 1:6 so call is fine and river is a raise because your opponent will almost always have a set or just Jx like KJ QJ JT etc. Almost never he's got a 6.

Unfortunately misplayed but don't give up and keep posting hands. No blaming for that since you are at the beginning of your career. :)
