Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $2.32 (116 bb)
BB: $2.06 (103 bb)
Hero (UTG): $2.05 (102.5 bb)
MP: $2.58 (129 bb)
CO: $3.78 (189 bb)
BTN: $4.90 (245 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K♠: K♦:
Hero raises to $0.06, MP folds, CO calls $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, 2 folds
Pre-flop is fine (wish we could have got it all in then).

Flop: ($0.21) 5♥: 7♥: 9♠: (3 players)
Hero bets $0.16, CO raises to $0.40, BTN calls $0.40, Hero ?
Not sure how to read this flop - obviously there is a flush draw and a possibly completed straight draw but the cards aren't of high value. I guess it is possible someone could call with 86, but how likely? I don't think that CO raises with a flush draw either (BTN quite possibly would though) which leaves 55, 77 or 99 or possibly an over pair like TT, JJ maybe QQ (I would expect more action pre-flop if AA or KK.

What do you think? Easy fold as at NL2 they nearly always have something?

At NL2 ppl can call you with some surprising hands so I think any 2pair and straights are possible. In micros they usually don't raise flops enough as a bluffs and in multiway pots they tend to be more honest. I think this can be folded. With K♥: this would be closer to a call.

Only 1/2 pot on the flop and snap fold vs raise. You can call only with K♥:, but some small raise. Like this...

At a fishy table, I don’t think it’s bad to bet big against 2 players on a wet board like this for value and protection. Now the CO is raising I would make a fold as well. The CO can easy have a set or 2 pair combos and the BTN could have a better hand and flush draw as well and you have only 2 outs to improve and if you hit the K♥: you could end up with the 2nd best hand as well.
