Default your read vs. pot odds

I'm currently multitabling 3 tables of .02/.04 and doing very well.

However, fundamentally speaking, I'm having a difficult time weighing the two opposing concepts of pot odds and your read as to if you think you have the best hand and how that influences your further action.

Basically the problem I'm running into is when you get raised or check-raised on the turn with top pair with a great kicker, and you assume you're behind, let's say you give yourself 3 outs to hit the best two pair, but the pot is only lying 10:1...yet there is a chance that you actually do have the best hand, and this guy is playing overagressively (you don't know because you have no read on him, because you're playing 3 tables).

In this situation would you call then show it down because the pot is big and you don't have a read on him yet? Or would you play conservatively and fold the possible best hand?

At what point is the pot "too small" for you to make this call and showdown?
