Default Is this how a donk lets other donks stay around, or did I save money?

I'm playing three tables at once, so no reads. It's a micro, so I assume it is not a thinking player. Should I be betting this river, or do the only hands that call me beat me?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG (t2115)
UTG+1 (t1730)
MP1 (t1645)
MP2 (t2672)
Donkey (t4925)
CO (t1945)
Button (t1755)
SB (t3425)
BB (t3515)

Preflop: Donkey is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Donkey raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP1 calls t150.

Flop: (t475) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Donkey bets t250</font>, MP1 calls t250.

Turn: (t975) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Donkey bets t400</font>, MP1 calls t400.

River: (t1775) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks

Final Pot: t1775

Yeah man.. I'd say you are beat &lt;0.25% of the time here. I think if villain could beat TPTK, he'd lead river.

And if MP1 called turn and river with Ax (very very likely holding), he will probably call river too. Betting the river for t900 has a lot of value.

I would have bet closer to the pot on the flop and turn too btw.

Villian limped preflop from MP1. I think it's reasonable to put him on a range of a small-medium pp, connectors, weak A-x, KQ or KJ type hand. Villian then checked to you on the flop, turn and river. There are no flush possibilities on the baord. Given villian's passiveness, you have to believe you are ahead. If villian had 89 for the straight and is trying to check-raise the river, pay him off. Villian has shown an inclination to call your roughly half-pot bets. Make another on the river and extract full value from the hand. You are leaving chips on the table otherwise.
