Default Two Pair could get me a huuuuuge pot

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

BB ($79.5)
UTG ($116.75)
MP ($80)
CO ($98.75)
Button ($126.3)
Hero ($213.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.5.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $4</font>, MP calls $4, CO calls $4, Button calls $4, Hero (poster) calls $3.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($21) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $5</font>, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $10</font>, Button calls $10, Hero folds

Final Pot: $256.50

I feel like an [censored]. I play these suited crap hands to get into exactly this situation and then I fold [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Here is what's going on:
- UTG: very tilted, his hand range goes from nothing to JJ, I think he would push all-in against the minraise if he had overpair/even flush draw!
- CO: he didnt seem reckless, had not seen another minraise before, feared him most in this hand, was not sure if he would minraise a set with a flush draw + straight draw out there, but hey these are party idiots
- Button: Calling idiot, he would call a bad flush draw or one pair hand here...

So I have three types of actions:
a) Fold
b) Push All-in
c) Call, hope that UTG pushes all-in, see how the action develops and then call/fold depending what CO does
