I'm not sure if donking is fine here. For one thing we're sure - if we donk and get raised, it's a fold, because it's very likely that he has a flush. We could also get some value from Ax or even Qx hands. But maybe c/r would be a better option here? I'm not sure, checking here is kinda risky, isn't it?

At NL10 it would be a bet-fold on the river, but I'm not sure what the right play for NL2 is. However, you should aspire to learn the strategy for the NL10 or higher stakes anyway if you want to make progress.

I'm trying to read most of the articles on PokerStrategy, but I'm not sure which ones are for <NL10 and which ones are for >=NL10.

Almost none of them were written with NL2/5 in mind.
