After only 6 hands, I have no reads. I hated folding this. What's your opinions?

A better line is to call, call, call.

So I'm guessing you're putting your opponent on KJ or QJ and just maybe on 55????

There are lots of hands that will rightfully get aggressive with you on this flop and you pull way ahead of lots of those hands on the turn. i.e. two diamonds with an overcard, QT, 8T, KT, especially if he has K of diamonds...This is a heads up pot. I don't see many hands that are beating you and get this aggressive on the flop without any preflop aggression. For example, i think AJ would play this flop this way, but not preflop. From your likely steal raise and a player aggro enough to three bet the flop here he'd probably 3 bet preflop too.

Anyway, I don't think it's a big mistake to hold on to top pair hands when you're in a heads up pot from the beginning.
No way I can let myself fold here. i really think I'm ahead.

Hmm I think I am giving my opponents too much credit.
