$4 NL HE Full Ring: Villian Donk bets into me

I have just started playing micro stakes cash games and have found myself in this position a few times now and unsure what to do. Basically you 3bet in late positon, villian flat calls and then leads out with a pot size bet on the flop. Would this be representing an overpair or maybe a set?

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $0.02(BB) Replayer
SB ($0.70)
BB ($0.70)
UTG ($2.03)
UTG+1 ($0.89)
UTG+2 ($2.04)
Hero ($3.73)
CO ($1.21)
BTN ($2.17)

Dealt to Hero K A

UTG raises to $0.06, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.14, fold, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls $0.08

FLOP ($0.31) 5 8 3

UTG bets $0.26, Hero???

Imo fold. This looks like a "I'm going to the river with my hand no matter what" play from utg. Catch him later when have a made hand. Also for most people at this level it doesn't matter what you are representing, the calling stations don't know how to fold

And we are not one of those so we will be folding this all day.

at 2nl, a 6 cent raise is nothing. make your standard raise like 10 cents

Standard 3bet here is 3x the open in position, make your 3bet at least $0.18.

The flop donk bet is probably not a set - an utg open/call 3bet isn't going to hit this flop well. It's probably not KK+ either, since those hands would usually have 4bet pf. This line is consistent w 99-QQ at microstakes.

I'm w everyone else, fold, the flop betsize is too large to call and hope for one of our six outs. If the flop betsize were, say, 1/3 to 1/2 psb, I will frequently raise it assuming I have some FE (we 3bet, he'll have to be worried we have KK+) and have 6 outs - but he looks commmitted (i.e., we don't have FE).
