Default Poster\'s special against an unknown\'s donkbet

This is my first hand at the table, so MP1 is an unknown. Thoughts on flop raise and turn action appreciated.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, Hero (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

With TPNK, on the flop I'm prepared to fold to an EP bet. With the bet coming from LP though, there's a decent chance that your average villain is firing with second pair, a small pocket pair, or even air. The 7.5BB in the pot is big enough that I don't want to give it up when I've got top pair, and my hand is pretty vulnerable to overcards, so I raise it up.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP3 folds, Hero ...

[b]Donk. Now what? Against any T hand I'm drawing to a split at best. Against a 6 I'm drawing to 2 outs. I'm way ahead of a pocket pair 9 or smaller or a pair of 5's which might potentially donk-bet it here.

Is this a WA/WB calldown, or a fold?

hmm. MP1 limps in after UTG+1 and UTG+2 limp in. I'm guessing he's limping with some sort of suited (or unsuited) connectors. If that's correct, then the question is...which ones. WA/WB.

I've seen too many people bluff with air when the board pairs in this situation not to call down.

i probably would have folded to his initial bet, so i'm folding here too. the reason: small pot. WARNING: possible weak-tight advice [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This hand bears a fairly strong resemblance to the reverse implied odds hand in SSH with 92o. There's no flush draw here, however. I'm fairly skeptical of the chance you'll have the best hand at showdown. On the flop, you might be dominated, you're reasonably likely to get out drawn, and the pot is pretty small. Folding is a reasonable option.
