Default $400 6max: I flop top two pair but I hate my hand

I had a couple of pretty good reads in this hand. The button is a fairly loose and aggressive player, who pays off too much after the flop. He gets stacked with overpairs and TPTK too much, in my opinion.

MP, however, is tight and mostly passive. His preflop statistics are about 32/6. He is pretty weak after the flop in that he doesn't tend to play big pots without very big hands, and his play is basically straightforward as far as I've seen.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero ($458.70)
MP ($1328.12)
Button ($616.93)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $10</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $6, MP calls $6.

Flop: ($32) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $30.4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $200</font>, Button calls $169.60, Action is on Hero

At this point I put button on an overpair, with also the possibility of AJ. I put MP on a set. In fact, I really don't see what else MP can have besides a set. Do you put them on different hands than I do? What is your play?

Also do you play the flop differently the first time?
