Flopped set facing donk and raise on the river
Initial raiser has a habit of getting bluff happy and over-valuing weaker made hands. That was why no raise on the flop so that he could carry on betting.
Turn raise given the increasingly drawy nature of the board. Arguably should have been larger, but didn't want to price out semi-bluffs or 1pair hands.
Probably the worst river as flush and KQ/54 straight draw got there.
Would snap call the initial raiser if he'd led (maybe even consider raise/fold), but had a bit of sick in my mouth when the more passive player (new to me) suddenly donked out and then still got min-raised. Odds are great for a call still if last to act, even though both raises look pretty valuey, but come with the potential for the river donk to 3bet and give me no choice but to fold after chucking in £2.40(?)
So river option.... ?

I would almost never raise flop, regardless.
Turn I would raise bigger, quite alot bigger. Our opponents are gonna continue for a bigger size almost the same as they would for this price, so maybe £2.5-£3 imo.
River I would not fold. I would call, then I would fold to further action
For what it's worth, I folded, initial raiser shoved (had KQo) and was snap called (AJo).
I think in retrospect that you are right regarding a larger turn bet. I was trying to be too cute and attempt to get both to call in a spot that looks relatively strong (although debateable as to whether they were thinking much about my actions!) with the aim of looking for 1 or 2 stacks on most rivers (given I'd have left them both with roughly a pot sized bet behind)...
But may as well have given them a chance to put more money in while there is still a chance for their draws to brick and see them c/f most rivers.
