Default What to do with bottom two?

Hey, all. I've been a limit player for the last few years, and am trying to expand my game by learning a little no limit. If this hand seems way too easy to discuss (and I feel it probably is), that's why.

Here is a good example of a hand where I feel lost right now. I flop a good but vulnerable hand OOP, bet out, and get raised. What should my plan be for the rest of the hand? Do I want to go to war right now with bottom two? If I call, what is my plan for the rest of the hand?

Button in this hand had only been at this table for a couple of orbits. Was about 30/5/2, and had not done anything untoward to get my attention.

Any help appreciated.

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG+2: $28.06
MP2: $6.59
Button: $28.25
Hero: $24.65

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB folds, Hero checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($1.1, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $3</font>...

Raise, villain likely has a pair of tens or a draw here. I'd make it 10-12 and c/r a safe turn.

Pot it. Be happy to put your stack in here b/c most of the time it is someone overplaying A10 or K10 or maybe even JJ if they are silly, and if you lose you hit the rebuy button.

How 'bout what you said and why, but lead the rest on a safe turn, instead of c/r?
