I feel like any limp pre-flop is bad in 6-max. Raise or fold. I like fold here.

limping PF sux (especially when somebody posts in the CO , raise and steal his blind) , raise or fold

bet something on the turn , riv is fine ....

Raise or fold pf, limp/calling is bad. Why are you donking into the pfr w/ middle pair?
Bet the turn, need to build a pot. River is fine.

This is wrong when playing calling stations, which is probably everyone at 10NL. There is no reason to bloat a pot against tons of opponents with subpar holdings, esp. OOP. If you have reason to believe you'll get HU on the flop w/position, it's fine. Bad cards+tons of opponents who fold nothing+no position = recipe for disaster.

The limp here isn't bad if the table is playing super-passive and raising rarely PF.

As played bet the turn and then 1/2 pot the river, he's never folding a 10.

I don't have a strong preference among your three preflop options, although I doubt I would fold with a limper in front of me and a poster behind me. 87s is at least a hand with potential.

Calling Button's raise is at least a little dubious though, I think.

When you hit the flop, this is the way it's usually going to happen, and I think the donkbet is all right. Checking is also an option, with the main advantage being that if Button is an auto-bettor, you can see what UTG wants to do before acting. (And, if you know that Button is not an auto-bettor, you can fold if he bets no matter what UTG does.)

I think you should bet the turn.

River is good.

continue betting the turn, bet even bigger on the river for value
