Hero calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t70) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

These type hands are very difficult to play. I like your lead on the flop, however getting called on this drawless board says to me that the CO has something.

I think a 2 is unlikely, although you never know at the 5's, as people will play A/K/Q-2 suited.

More likley he has something like JT, T9, AT or a pocket pair. I'd likely try to check this hand down and maybe call a small bet hoping villain will turn over 66/77. Anything more than a small bet and I'm done with this hand, as your not ahead here very often.
