Best play: Bet 33% pot
Why
T♣6♦2♣ is a disconnected, ten-high board with a club flush draw out there; as the CO preflop raiser you still hold the range advantage over the BB. Your A♠7♠ is ace-high with no pair, no club, just the lone ace overcard and a faint backdoor spade. A small 33% c‑bet is the right tool: it bets the whole range cheaply for board coverage, applies fold equity to the BB's air, and denies equity to overcards while risking little with a hand that profits mainly by folding villain out.
Key idea
On low, disconnected boards the IP raiser can range-bet small for board coverage, taking down many pots cheaply with even ace-high.
Common mistake
Checking back ace-high here passes up easy fold equity against a range that whiffs this board most of the time.
