Default $5-6/6-8\'s, small pair on flop

First hand posted.
Very early in tournament. All strangers and all passive so far.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (6 handed) converter

Button (t1580)
SB (t1400)
BB (t1620)
Hero (t1520)
MP (t1600)
CO (t1280)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t70) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t70</font>, CO calls t70, BB folds.

Turn: (t210) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Default Re: $5-6/6-8\'s, small pair on flop

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.
