I tend to fold here because they only other possibilty would be to put in a good sized raise. But with this UTG minraise, hands like 55 or 44 can def be in his range as well as a big ace played very weird.

Just make a note and fold.

If he donk bets like this a lot (indicating that he might be betting with less than top-pair), then you might want to raise at some point to see if he's doing this light.

But for this hand, fold is probably best.

fold, his money will be there later for the taking

I definitely fold here. I put him on either a flopped set and trying to build the pot, or an A making a probe bet because he's not sure his kicker is good. Either way, we are way behind.
