If you're going to raise, raise more. Make it .40 or .50.

Now you're getting 8 to 1 on the flop. I don't see any reason to raise here. You would only get very weak hands to fold - and you're getting decent odds to draw on those hands anway. I would call the flop and fold to any card that isn't a 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the turn. For the minbets I would probably call if a 3 or 9 came also.

Why not raise? what thought process is going on here? I'd like to compare mine along with it and discuss.

I raise here to .60.

Min donk is always weak, the fact that BB just called shows that he's weak, too, therefore i raise and give up if called.

Perfect.

I raised to .80. My thinking is that I got called on my mini-raise; have a mini-bet and then a call. Looks weak. I'd probably give up if called as well, b/c of no overcard in hand.

That was my original thought process. But Spurious is right, min donks are 90% BS so raising will probably win you the pot on the flop.
