Hero ?

So I floated the flop to the donk lead is this okay given his stack size and previous passive play (only 39 hands)? Once the queen hits and villain continues aggression are we happy calling down or am I only ever beating bluffs?

This is pretty close to the bottom of our range and the worst combo w no backdoors, so would just fold the flop.

+1 fold flop.

As played, call turn and reevaluate river.

I also play in micro limits, and could it be that villain was either a LAG or even a maniac? Considering that he was just protecting his blinds, he may have hit something on the flop probably a 6.

He is definitely NOT LAG or maniac. He is loose passive, and when passive guy bets it means he has something good. What is good in his eyes we can’t know, I guess something between top pair and straight ;-) Problem with your hand is you have only 6 outs to make top pair, and it may be no good, so you have no reason to continue.

Hero made top pair on the turn; so, if villain had top pair after the flop--the best that he may have had in my assessment--he later on had to chase. I don't think that villain was just loose passive. I think, his hole cards were in his calling range, not raising range preflop--both are wide. His bet could just be a statement that he had hit something, probably top pair. There are many players like villain in micro limits. They lead to block a larger bet because they are drawing, or to make a statement that they have something, and other reasons that I probably haven't noticed yet. And, when you just call, they may see it as a sign of weakness and make a larger bet after the turn. I see this a lot. Many of them who play in such way are definitely not a calling station.
