    Default Flopped Straight....how much to raise Flop?

    UTG and MP2 are loose/passive as is table.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Hero ($30.83)
    Button ($67.72)
    SB ($3.92)
    BB ($23.75)
    UTG ($43.13)
    UTG+1 ($16.01)
    UTG+2 ($10.65)
    MP1 ($25.35)
    MP2 ($24.38)
    MP3 ($25.25)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 6, 5. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG calls $0.25, UTG+1 calls $0.25, UTG+2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.25, 1 fold, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

    I've been trying to open up my range of hands in LP so with multiple limpers at a loose passive table I make the call with position.

    Flop: ($1.75) 4, 7, 3 (7 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $1, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls $1, MP2 calls $1

    How much to raise in order to make it +EV longterm?

    rephrase your questions! all raises are +ev long term. you want the most +EV. raise this to 4 or so. if there were draws i'd make it more.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    Seeing as you flopped a hidden straight and there are no flush draws you only have to fear someone with a set filling up. There was no PF raise so I imagine you have a smattering of draws and pairs and overcards. I would raise it to 4.50 or so here. You don't want to get counterfeited and if anyone has a real hand (like a set) they will probably reraise you here in which case you can just call and take a card off. If you take the pot down awesome there is already $5.50 in it. I bet you'd get at least 1 caller and you could bet 3/4 of the pot on the turn depending on the card
