Donking turn small HU

I've been a HU grinder for a long time and I see many players leading turn after I cbet flop usually like 1/3 1/4 pot...  its semi annoying to play against but I dont see the point of it.  Players seem so unbalanced when they try and use it.  Is it more of a blocker bet with gutters and hands with no SD value?  Like lets say you have K10o on Kd 9c 6C board and you cbet flop he calls turn is 6 and he donks 1/4 pot are we just calling?  Raising and checking River? I'm talking guys that do this at very high freq... I don't understand it because it doesnt build a big pot and it seems impossible to have balanced range on the river when you check call flop and turn OOP if you are donking so many turns.  I know this is a very general question... if anyone has a good video that explains it please let me know.  Thanks!

Don't know if there's a video that deals with leading here. There's a whole series, which does a full breakdown of why it should be used more by Matt Janda on another training site. Probably concentrates more on the flop than turn. Goes into a lot of theory and math. If I recall correctly the initial comparison is between leading and CBetting OOP, pointing out that we CB correctly OOP a lot but don't lead enough because it's not the conventional way to play.

The other thing you can look at for when trying to work out what range villains are leading are their x/r flop and x/r turn frequency. Leading for value is more likely from someone who has a low x/r flop and x/r turn.
