Default Top pair + Straight draw on the flop

Hi there guys. I have no special reads at all for these players and I have no clue what is the right play here. I hope for your help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] MP bets a standard c-bet and the other guy minraises... Min = what ??? Set , straight ???


Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $20.74
BB: $24.30
Hero (UTG): $25.92
MP: $26.44
CO: $23.32
BTN: $18.51

Preflop: Hero is dealt 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
Hero calls $0.25, <font color="red">MP raises to $1.25</font>, CO calls $1.25, 3 folds, Hero calls $1.00

Flop: ($4.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">MP bets $2.85</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to $5.70</font>, Hero....?

Tough situation, since you aren't closing the action.
I think I would fold here, too many bad things can happen if you call. And if you raise, only better hands will call.
But I'm not that sure.

You don't beat anything here except a bluff and something like A6. Easy fold.

3bet preflop to find out where you are, and bet the flop.

Given the action here though, i fold

You should be coming in for a raise with your hand preflop, but onto the flop. Im folding to the 2-bet here. If you were to call, there is still the possibility that MP is going to reraise CO, then you're in a real pickle.

I guess you have a fold equity near to 0 here and a first raiser yet to act ^^ Easy fold.

Are you telling him he should limp/reraise? Not exactly the best advice to give the guy. I also dont like leading out with the OE str8 with 2 people left to act. If it were HU, I would definately do it though.
