Default The turn donk in 6 Max.

I have real real trouble dealing with the donk bet on the turn when I have a decent but vulnerable hand. Here is an example although probably not a good one.

The BB here is 42/13/0.6 after only 30 hands so not a lot to be made of that apart from being your normal loose 6 Max player.

Preflop: Hero is MP with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero folds

This seems to be a pretty easy fold what about this 2nd 0ne?

BB here is 59/12/1.5 after 90 hands so reasonably aggressive for a player seeing that many flops.

These donk bets into an aggressor have me baffled as so often they can mean a 2 pair or better that they don't want me to check the turn on but a significant few times they are with air. Is there any good way to deal with them or is it a purely down to reads?
