Re: 2-7 TD Hand
[ QUOTE ]
I brick out. I check. BB bets, limper calls and I call also.
I draw 2. BB draws 1. Limper stands pat.

My first instinct was that this is an easy check-raise, but I changed my mind after considering the other players' hands. The pat hand "should have" raised on the previous round. Since he didn't, he either has a really good hand or a really bad hand. The BB is most likely going to check to the pat hand (because you're both assuming the pat hand has to bet).
Betting out is good for two reasons. First, the BB won't be forced to call two bets cold. Second, you'll at least get one bet in from each player. Normally check-raises are fairly automatic, but we have reason to believe that the pat hand isn't going to bet.
I admit that I read the results before I wrote this, but I still think it's a fairly straightforward read. Why did the pat hand not raise? Unless he has a monster, he's going to have the same reason to check it through.
