Re: Common situation -- what do you do
I definitely wouldn't raise here, but I definitely would if it were a suited hand. I like to raise preflop after a bunch of limps so I can build a pot with a hand that will flop you a lot of weak draws. Without the suitedness, you lose one of your major draws and you have to hope to land TP and have it hold up or catch one of the two straights. After the flop, you're in early position, so I'd check with an intention to call 1 bet with your overcards plus backdoor straight and flush. Being raised here wouldn't be good, so a check-call is probably warranted.
