I hate these min bets, but since you have middle pair weak kicker I would just call and see how the turn goes, raising is not an option because of your hand and position and folding would be pretty nitty because you may have the best hand and you have backdoor straight and flush draws if you don't.

Atleast see the turn card and decide from there.

Fold. A bit conservative given the pot odds, but
- since there has been a min-bet and a call, it's less likely no one has an A or a better Q than if there was only the min-bet.
- there are relatively few turn cards that will improve your hand, and none that will give you the nuts.
- the most likely scenario if you call is that someone will bet the turn, and since you're presumably going to check fold when you miss the turn, which will be most of the time, calling the flop usually only lets you draw once.

I will call here and see the turn. From there I will evaluate if Ill continue. pot odds also commands me to continue if its still favorable.

its a tiny bet. just call see the turn and re-evaluate

3 limpers behind you, there's a good chance somebody has Ax and you'll be OOP for next 2 streets. Fold and find a better spot.

The pot odds are high due to the small bet size, but the card odds of improving, especially to a winning hand, also matter. What leads you to think you're priced in?

I'd call and lead most turns. It's micro stakes, people like to click the bet button... it's fun. That min bet could literally be any 2, and the call is def weak and you're ahead of his range. It's most likely you're looking at 2 guys with a draw, 9x or Qx. The only person you have to be concerned about really is the initial donk better. Sometimes they will have Ax, but usually not.

I think I am still ahead here. This is microstake.

Most likely there will be again minimum bet turn and river. I have to call all the way since its very cheap irregardless of card odds.

Well now that I got a nice amount of posts the person who donked actually ended up showing down two pair A9.That to me seemed so odd. They min be the turn and then bet like 3 bbs on the river. I am not sure why some people bet so weak with stronger hands sometimes.
