Default Stars 50k: 66 against limptard in position

Villain is new to the table, but has limped a lot and made at least one pretty donkish play. I think pf and flop are standard (unless flop bet is too small?). What are you doing on the turn?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t300 with t25 antes (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2395)
UTG+1 (t18995)
MP1 (t13092)
Hero (t13780)
MP3 (t2682)
CO (t19266)
Button (t8864)
SB (t2548)
BB (t5518)

Preflop: Hero is in MP2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I like the limp behind better preflop with this hand.

If you raise the river, are you value betting or bluffing?

Obv it's a bluff. Villain most likely has some marginal pair, but will still call if you bluff raise.

I hate these spots. So just call.

The min bet is the donk's version of the block bet. I hardly ever see this as a goad for you to raise so he can reraise. I think judging by your check on the turn and his min river bet, he's got at least a pair of Ts and wants to get paid off by A high or a smaller pair. The problem with raising is it doesn't look like he'd fold a K and maybe not even a ten. However, I would call just so I can see his hand and store it for information. After all, he has a LOT of chips and wouldn't they look nice in your stack.
