JJ -- too passive, or correctly cautious??

[JackOfSpeed]

With 3 limpers in front of me (2 of them very loose players), I didn't really want to put myself to a very difficult post-flop situation. I ended up having a hard time playing this hand anyway, as three unders flopped, and I turned an openended straight draw (still having an overpair).

I remembered Sklansky's advice from TPFAP: Always take a freecard (as opposed to betting when checked to) if a reraise will make you want to throw up.

Also: this is in a $100 tournament with 65 left (of 74 to start) -- top 10 get paid.

Thoughts??
