Is it too weak to fold turn here? Should I call and hope villain checks river? I think that when villain calls flop and donks turn there is a big chance he has 54 or a flush. I don't think he is betting a lot of worse hands here.

Do you have any info on villain? This spot depends a lot about the player who you are playing against.

Villain has 28/14 VPIP/PFR over 64 hands, and fairly passive.

When a fairly passive villain donks on a completed draw - fold.

No, I don't think folding is too weak. Sets and flushes are possible. If villain is passive I think it is better to give up.

I think folding here was the right move. Yeah, you had top pair with a very good kicker, but it's still only one pair. With a possible straight and flush on the board, and only one more card to come, I definitely think you made the right move by folding.

Unless you don't overfold to donkbets and the others haven't noticed yet, it's perfectly ok

This seems well played, bet sizing and all. With a club, you can consider calling and seeing the river in position, but I like a fold here readless.
