Did I play this fine?
What do you think of the donkbet and my sizing? What about my sizing on the turn.
I was happy with my sizing on the river but feel free to tell me where if it could be better.

Minor point, id bet a bit more. 3/4 Pot on flop, Pot on turn, Shove him all in on river.
Ultimately though its just a cooler turn card.
Generally I never full pot apart from very rare circumstances, I'd never be full potting as a bluff either although granted balancing here probably isn't required.
It is a bit of a cooler but tbf, I'm never gonna let him get to showdown and win if he doesn't hit his 3 anyway
Anyway, I would not lead out for half-pot into a limped pot. Generally it's tough to see how we're ever going to be bluffing air in this spot anyway so just bet bigger for value with your with your big hands and bet bigger with your semi-bluffs too. Balance your range between sets, two-pairs and draws.
Multi-way, you want to thin the field a bit anyway so make it 2/3 to 3/4 pot. I agree with not going full pot, though I always like ascending bet sizes through the streets. So after betting half-pot and being called on the flop, bet bigger on the turn for value when you hit and for added menace with your bluffs.
Why never full pot? You're leaving loads of money on the table when you get big hands like flushes that way.
Others have said we want to thin the field... is it bad that I don't want to thin the field? It's unlikely we're up against a lot of danger hands for when I get there like 2prs + sets that can house up or better FD. Isn't it better to get 3-4 calls x 40p here than 1 x 60p?
The turn though, it's easy to say full pot when you see he has a set, but if I full pot I'll probably only get called by sets, some 2prs and 6x, but get folds from all random 1 heart hands, all 1 pair hands and probably some low OPs like 8s all of which I want a call from. Also betting small allows people to make a mistake by raising, but very few will raise a full pot bet here with hand I beat.
Again shoving the river when he's got £13 behind and the pot is £4, unlikely to get called by nearly all hands, might not even get a call from bottom set (although that's unlikely from most 20NL players) but I don't know he has a set remember.
