Default Extracting value from mid 2-pair

Stars $0.5/$1.00, 10-handed.

Table is juicy: Running 40-50% with very little preflop raising except from known TAGs. It's pretty easy to limp along in late position with a wide range of hands. Because of this, hero's image sucks. I've overlimped a lot with typical overlimping hands (small pockets, SCs, etc.) and missed everything, and am down 10 BB's. I could be tilting.

The hand:

Hero is in MP1 with T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

3 folds, Hero raises (tilt!), 1 fold, MP3 calls, CO calls, Bu calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop (10 SB): A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, CO raises, Bu folds, BB calls, Hero calls, MP3 calls

Turn (8.5 BB): T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, BB folds, <font color="red"> Hero raises </font>

Please ignore preflop, because "fold preflop" makes for a short discussion. I make these raises occassionally to loosen up my ultra-nitty fit-or-fold image.

This is my dilemna: MP3 will call one bet with a wide range of bad hands. I'm not sure if he will call two bets, but I'm not sure that I want him to call. He could easily have a 5-out draw to a better two pair or even be chasing the backdoor club draw. I'm basically wondering if it's best to check-raise the turn or the river here. I was thinking about bet-3-bet the turn, but I'm not sure that I want to commit to calling a cap + river bet from CO with a mid two-pair hand. CO was one of the decent players at the table and probably wouldn't overplay TPMK if I donked the turn. Is check-raising the turn the best course of action?

folding this flop for one bet is pretty bad given the pot size.

played fine IMO except for preflop LDO

You're on tilt because you're stuck ten bets in a .50-1 game?

Dude, you need to work on that way more than anything else then.

Help a clueless noob out: on the flop, what do we usually count for outs here? If I have a pair plus an overcard to the board (ex. A7 on Q72r board) I usually count 5 outs (3 aces, 2 sevens). But what do we count in this general case where our unpaired card ain't an overcard to the board? I've typically being counting 4 outs (2 for the paired card and 2 for the other card); is this acceptable? In this case seeing the turn for one bet would be fine.

gg, there are 3 tens and 2 sevens left in the deck = 5 outs.

But don't we have to discount some of those outs for the time when our two pair will be crushed by a bigger two pair? Doesn't seem right to count the same number of outs for A7 on Q72 vs T7 on A72.

I would discount ~1 out for that.
