Should i have played this different?
It's early Stages in a $10+1 mtt on ignition, Blinds are 30-60, No reads on any of the players besides the guy in the SB who played previous hand aggressive with rags.
Hero: 3,710, UTG+2: 4,900, Cutoff: 2,348
Preflop:
5 players limp to me in the SB with 6s 6d I just call
Flop:
7c 4d 5h checks around to cutoff who bets 360 , I flat making the pot 1,080, it folds around to utg+2 who then re-raises to 900 making the pot 1,980
Cutoff proceeds to shove all in pot is now 3,908, With my open ended straight draw I hesitate and then call followed by UTG+2
UTG+2 shows 7h 6h, Cutoff shows 10h 8h
Turn: 10c
River
Qh
Cutoff scoops the pot
Should I have re-raised preflop? (I felt like set-mining without bloating the pot was the best way to go especially so early in the mtt)
Should I be calling the All-In? (Considering everyone in the pot did limp pre, I knew I was bound to run into some 2 pairs maybe a set at worse a, I was getting around 35% to call (correct me if I'm wrong) with my set)

Hey mate!
No need to inflate the pot pre-flop by raising such a hand. Is this kind of mtts the best way to play those hands, especially OOP is just by flatting and try to set mine. Your raising range should be very strong as players are going to be very sticky and call alot.
Pos-flop I would only x/c flop and then probably x/f turn if he bombs again as I do not think you have much fold equity and you only have 8 outs at best against his possible range. But after x/raising you do not have room to fold and gotta go for it.
hmmm...I think the post-flop analysis above ^ may be a bit off, as Hero did not check-raise...he called the initial bet, and then called the proceeding all-in.
I think I actually find a fold here. Long story short, we are getting roughly 2 to 1 at the time of call (which would be close), but we have no reason to be sure that the other player will also call off behind us.
Furthermore, if he does, than I think there is a very high chance, given this action, that one of the two players will also have also have 6 (76, 56, 46), or even a made straight.
HELPFUL SIDE NOTE: this HH may have been a bit confusing to decipher due to your incorrect use of "re-raise" a couple of times. Preflop you could not have re-raised (only raised), as it was limped around to you. And on the flop, UTG+2 did not re-raise; he simply raised. just for future reference :)
Don't worry, by trying to set mine with low pairs you will encounter those flops often. Against 2 opponents you can play more confortable but against that bunch of limpers and a raise on the flop its a clear fold.
No need to raise preflop. Perfect hand to flat and go multi-way with.
As played, I think you're obviously in bad shape and drawing to limited outs. I agree with Zuzolo above that you don't know if the player who raised to 900 is also calling the shove (although I think it's very likely he does call) plus opponents are likely to have blockers to your straight.
I'm a fish and I want to create a large stack early in tournaments.. so I'm calling it off and praying. (note: $11 is a smaller tournament for me... I fold in a higher $ tournament) I think the most +EV decision is to save your chips and move on only losing 420 chips in the hand and still having 55 bbs.
