Top Pair, Strong Kicker facing 3 donk bets

0.15/0.30 table PokerStarsNJ
SB $22.93
BB (Villain) $29.70 - just sat down at table, first hand
UTG $21.34
MP (Hero) $40.15 KhQc
CO $34.16
BN $53.03

PRE-FLOP:
UTG limps for $.30
HERO raises to $1.20
CO, BN, SB all fold
Villain calls $1.20
UTG folds

FLOP: [8s Kd 2s] (Pot = $2.85)
Villain bets $1.50
Hero calls $1.50

I call here because knowing nothing else about this player I probably have him beat (assuming most players would 3bet with AK), and he's charging the flush draw with a donk bet, and can get paid off without showing real strength here. Most donk bets I've encountered on lower stakes tables are a sign of weak-medium strength hands.

TURN: [8s Kd 2s 6d] (Pot = $5.85)
BB bets $5.40
Hero calls

Calling with same mindset as flop. Now I think he just has a worse King than I do and not complete air, and trying to push me out of this hand.

RIVER: [8s Kd 2s 6d Ks] (Pot = $16.65)
BB bets $15.84
Hero calls

To be honest I am not quite sure if I played any of this correctly and any help showing me the better way to play this would be appreciated.

Also, any help explaining how to add a proper hand history to the forums would be appreciated too.
