Who calls this down?

I've been second guessing myself a lot lately, especially being bluffed out of pots. Villian is 20/10/2

Please remind me laying this down in the +EV thing to do...

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $3.
3 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (8.33 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero...

Does anyone peel one off here and see the turn?

lay down pre flop. given the way you played it, you still have to lay down on flop, there is no viable 3 bet hand you are ahead of, and trying to bluff AK out of this board 1) sometimes won't work 2) costs you a ton of bets if facing a PP

Why the preflop raise? ATo doesn't seem strong enough to warrant that from MP1 in a 10-handed game. You're just asking to be iso-raised by someone to your left.

After the flop, you're likely dominated. You can't trust any of your outs. You're out of position. The pot is moderate-sized. You'll never know if you're ahead or behind in the hand. Peeling one off doesn't seem like it would help you much.

I think your two best choices are raise or fold (gosh, like you've never heard THAT advice before). If you raise, CO has to fear a monster. He MIGHT fold right here, if he's that sort of player. His numbers seem TAG enough that he could lay down his overcards to a full court press. On the other hand, if he's actually got something, or if he smells your weakness, you'll get three-bet and have to fold another BB poorer. Do you think he'll fold more than 1/4 of the time here? Absent any other information I'd say "yes," and that means a raise here is +EV.

Of course, if he just calls your flop bet then you've got to decide if you have the nutsack to lead a blank turn....I think you pretty much need to, folding to a turn raise.

I think your best chance at this pot is a bluff. It may be a slim chance, but the pot is large enough to warrant the risk.

I dont think this pf raise is horrible better then calling but it really depends on ur table.

But as for the flop I thinkud be best to give this up.
Theres prob not any hand ur ahead of atm even though CO would really bet any flop when checked too.
