after 74 hands villain is at 68/11 marked as a fish

PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

SB: $5.02 (100.4 bb)
BB: $4.11 (82.2 bb)
UTG: $5.00 (100 bb)
MP: $4.06 (81.2 bb)
Hero (CO): $5.00 (100 bb)
BTN: $5.67 (113.4 bb)

SB posts $0.02, BB posts $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has K♦: K♠:
fold, MP calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.20, 3 folds, MP calls $0.15

standard raise

Flop: ($0.47, 2 players) T♠: 6♣: T♣:
MP bets $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, MP calls $0.30

I had a feeling he wants to see a cheap turn so I raised to protect against FD.
If the small donk bet represents a weak made hand I should have only called, but then his call does not make any sense

Turn: ($1.27, 2 players) J♠:
MP checks, Hero bets $0.92, MP raises to $3.46 and is all-in, Hero folds

betting for value against draws, is it viable to call that shove here?

Results: $3.11 pot ($0.13 rake)
Final Board: T♠: 6♣: T♣: J♠:

MP wins $2.98

Villains line doesn't make a lot of sense...
limp-calls pre, donk-calls the flop, check-shoves the turn... your fish label seems right...

Based on villains line and stats... I think I'm calling and going broke here. Villain may have the T here, but I suspect it is a semi-bluff with a J, a 6 or a draw... or maybe FH... who knows. Looking forward to see what others say...

For me it would be a fold too .. fish on the microstakes do not bluf. The only thing is I am not sure here if villain has the T or a J.

So hard to fold KK

With the flop bet villain indeed shows they like their hand, but you are ahead of that range. Villain will fold very little to your raise so I think its profitable.

Turncard changes little so your bet is fine. With the shove though the pot is 5.65 and to call is 2.54. Suppose villain makes the shove with al their flushdraws and three of a kind or better. Then flushdraws are around 33% of their range. In that case you have 28.5% equity, which is not enough for a call.
