Spoiler

$1.28 pot ($0.06 rake)
Final Board: T♣: 4♣: 6♣: K♦: A♦:
SB showed J♠: J♣: and lost (-$0.57 net)
Hero showed Q♦: A♣: and won $1.22 ($0.65 net)

Villain is a tight tag pre, but fishy post. Stats:
VP$IP: 18.4% Aggression Factor: 1.9
PFR: 14.0% Aggression Frequency: 29.5%
3-Bet%: 4.1%

Is my call on the donk bet ok? Of course I did not know he was blocking the gutshot on the turn. At the same time I had huge implied odds as he was chasing a stupid flush.
Could I extract more value on the river or would it be overplayed?

I don't think there is nothing wrong with that line concerning your reasoning. If villain is fishy postflop, we should not try to semi-bluff or something. The call OTT is good IMO because you improve your straight draw. I think open up the action OTR has no use so a xb seems valid to me.

Your line seems fine with all the outs that could improve your hand on the turn and river and it will be most likely to thin to bet on the river for value. If he was a passive fish I would earlier try to value bet this. Now is checking fine.

Keep yourself stacked to 100bb at all times

Should I reload automatically or choose a percentage, like below 70% of the stack? I have not set it yet, because I am very aggressive from the blinds for the 2NL level standard and I go down very slowly.

Always have it set to the table max. That way you can get maxvalue from your monsterhands.

I also like the way you played the hand.

There's no law against playing with a 70% stack. Theoretically, you can get an edge over full stacks. Just be aware that practically all general advice assumes a 100 bb effective stack.
