I guess it is not clear to me what you were hoping for by calling pre-flop. To hit your deuce? Flop a straight?

he's hoping to flop a flush or a draw to it, or to flop a straight, or trips or two pair. The main value of this hand it to flop top pair, and to get the kind of action that indicates your hand is probably good. That isn't the case here. Just because you hit your hand doesn't mean you have to play. In fact, hero should muck preflop if he can't get away from situations like this.
