I think the flop bet is pretty bad. With a field of three opponents and a draw-heavy board like that, you aren't gonna win the pot with the bet. And then after you didnt lose any of them on the flop, the turn bet is real bad.

I've still got a draw and 2 overs, no one seems to like the pot, do you think getting the pot heads up with a bet is optimistic (on both the flop and river).

I disagree. Not betting is terrible. You aren't expecting to narrow the field every time. The main purpose of this bet is to retain the free card option on the turn when you don't improve. Which is why I hate betting the 2h, which is essentially a nightmare card. I'm not sure I call the turn without a good read; UTG could be making a bluff (it's a good spot), but most players won't make that and CO called 2 cold...
