Default JT flops top pair in bb...

What do we do facing this min raise??? Raiser is new to the table and button is a fairly competent player.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($75.80)
CO ($15)
Button ($62.55)
SB ($47.75)
Hero (BB) ($65.30)
UTG ($31.10)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, 10
UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, CO (poster) checks, Button calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero checks

Flop: ($2.25) 10, 2, 7 (4 players)
Hero bets $2.25, 1 fold, CO raises to $4.50, Button calls $4.50, Hero?

My assumption is that min raise in LP is looking for free turn card for the FD. However, when I've gotten tricky with TPGK hands like JT, every now and then they have AT and will stack off.

Damn the min raise!

i have to call here as we are getting too good of odds on our money. but i would procceed very cautiously. no reason to feel that we are beat just yet, but if there is action on the turn i would probably dump the hand if we do not improve.

i would say raise on the flop if there wasnt and over caller. with 3 people in the hand i think that we just need to re-evalute on the turn.

I probably just fold here. You're OOP, you only have 2 outs that don't complete some draw, and the turn is never getting checked through.

I'm checking the turn if I dont improve and folding to any strong bets.. Really hoping to check this down... maybe calling a small river bet if turn is checked.

With backdoor clubs and a backdoor straight I'm okay with calling the minraise. Usually I'd just pitch this though since with the BB overcalling you've probably got 4 immediate outs at best.
