[Louie Landale]

This is a MUCH different situation than if you hold QT flop JJ9. Small pairs are not NEARLY as dangerous as big pairs (players play a LOT more hands featuring a J than a 3), and if you make your hand other players aren't as paranoid about it, and rightfully so. If you snag a K someone with a K may not even call you; but if you snag a 7 to your little straight almost all big pairs will call.

With your actual hand 64 flop 533, "raise" is one of the prime options, ESPECIALLY of an early player bet (rather than one of the blinds). With 3 players in and nobody behind me, I'd raise. But I may call if there are 2 more potential callers to "suck in". The my hand QT flop JJ9, "fold" becomes somewhat a possibility.

Now, don't routinely raise with the flush/straight draws on a paired board, but the tiny pairs aren't nearly as bad.
