First orbit, no reads on players. What do these small donkbets generally mean at these stakes?
a) Let's be friends and see a showdown cheaply with my weak made hand.
b) I have a draw, please do not raise.
c) I have a monster, please do not fold
d) I have a monster, please raise

MP ($8)
Hero ($10)
Button ($9.35)
SB ($9.65)
BB ($23.90)
UTG ($9.25)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls $0.10, MP calls $0.10, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.6</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls $0.50, UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50.

Flop: ($2.45) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $0.3</font>, MP calls $0.30, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2.5</font>, BB folds, UTG calls $2.20, MP folds.

Turn: ($7.75) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $0.8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>

Call or raise?
After the turn bet UTG has $5.35 left. If I just call this bet, I'll be getting 2.75:1 to call a possible push on the river.

If UTG has a T, he has only 2 outs (5 with AT). JJ+ seems unlikely and so does 97 and J9.

call the turn and fold to a big river bet

Any reads ? Besides him being a donkey ? I see this often, some villains do this when they are drawing and some think they can induce big reraises. So just call turn and reevaluate river.

When people donkbet I usally call them down for cheap to find why they donkbet and make a note of it. Information is power my friend.

With three other players on the flop, there's a good chance that you are beat here. I'm just calling the turn, and calling a reasonable river bet. Beware when these little donkbets turn into huge value bets on the river.
