Flop Analysis
On 7c 2c 6s we have bottom pair with the worst kicker, no club, and weak backdoors. Into a limp range that contains lots of better pairs and strong draws, checking our entire range, including this hand, is the right approach.
We played a junk blind defense passively in a limped pot, which is exactly what we should do most of the time.

Turn Qh heavily improves UTG’s possible broadway/Qx holdings while our hand stays a fragile bluff-catcher. Leading here would run into Qx and overpairs too often; continuing to check and let UTG define their hand is the disciplined line.
River 4c brings in the front-door flush and completes 5x3x for a straight, while we still just have a weak pair of 2s. Our hand is too strong to bluff (we beat ace-high) but too weak to value bet, so checking and going to showdown is correct.
