Typical for aces action preflop. On flop vs small donkbet I prefer raise here. On turn open possible flush draw here so I bet here too. On river comes third spade on board. Opponent bet all in, I block some combination flush with ace of spade but villian still has flush here too or something better than my hand. I decide fold (no info about player).

I would've played this hand very similarly.

I tend to just calldown on the flop donk and bet only when he checks.
I feel like these donks are often very much air - which you would like to keep bluffing. And I don't think AA is strong enough to easily call a shove on this dry board against unknown

Seems reasonable. Off course on NL2 unknown villains could over play top pair if you raise.
Still tough to fold the river I think when only the backdoor flush comes.

It's a good fold. I've called too many times in this spot. T♠:J♠: Q♠:J♠: Q♠:K♠: K♠:T♠: K♠:8♠: villain might have sets as well. Vs this V I want to try and get it in on the turn, so I might shove, it seems excessive but some villains won't fold a GS or FD and will still call with a weak K.

Bigger bet OTT with 2 flush draws, at least 75%. OTR fold against unknown is fine.
