Default Micro players love to give cheap cards

No read on the bettor, but the guy behind me is pretty loose and mostly passive.

Do you guys dump this sooner?

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.01/$0.02 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $4.64
BB: $2.86
UTG: $4.47
Hero (CO): $3.06
BTN: $1.64

Preflop: Hero is dealt T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Players)
UTG calls $0.02, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.10</font>, BTN calls $0.10, SB calls $0.09, BB calls $0.08, UTG folds

Flop: ($0.42) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.04</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $0.04, BTN calls $0.04

Turn: ($0.54) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.04</font>, Hero calls $0.04, <font color="red">BTN raises to $0.08</font>, SB calls $0.04, Hero calls $0.04

River: ($0.78) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="red">BTN bets $0.30</font>, 1 folds, Hero ?

Pot Size: $1.08

This river card kinda makes me want to call.

Fold PF. This seems fine afterwards, small bets are usually small pairs, Kx and draws. I'd raise flop HU and expect fold most of the time. You can't really fold first turn bet and after raise you still have closing action. Basically .02/.04 limit poker in a ~15bb pot except you can get nice value if you spike a card. So, I'd prob still call knowing we're behind. Not sure what button has, weak Ace waiting for safe turn to raise prob.

How many fold this preflop? I did not expect that response.

I fold it preflop, I've never played 5nl, but if it plays as loose as 10nl raising K10o isn't good imo. Going to end up playing a multiway pot with a hand that doesn't play that well in multiway pots.

I limp, call, call. Keep the pot small, pay off an A and win against other hands (not KQ/KJ obv).

You can buy in for up to $5, but this isn't really even $5 no limit yet. I honestly didn't expect that many callers. I guess it depends on the time of day, but I'm used to playing heads up pots and taking them down with cbets, thus the pfr.

oh yea I meant 2nl. Anyway, yea it depends on the game type. If you know you're likely to get heads up like you said then a raise isn't bad. Its just a matter of figuring out things like that before raising such marginal hands. Especially if you are going to have trouble letting them go postflop.
