Pot the flop. THen you can fold to the minraise.

I'm not sure I'd bet this flop 4 handed out of position. I think i'd check it and fold to a bet.

You could, generally I wouldn't, it depends on the situation. It's mostly a feel thing.

If you did raise it preflop you could feel more comfortable about tossing out a bet on the flop.

It's common for people to limp-in with small/mid pp's for set value, but then they make a mistake by getting crazy with them when they miss theer set on what they see as a 'favorable' flop. Someone could have limped with anything so you have to be careful, especially OOP. Generally if I limp a mid PP OOP in a multiway and I don't hit my set then I dump it. When you have position, or have raised it preflop you may have some more options. It's all based on feel though.

I can't see taking a hard line in this hand, if you run into some action you are looking at a significant part of your stack going in. This is a c/f for me. Too Sensitive

If you must bet here, make it at least 3/4- 1xpot. Like I said this pattern is just too transparent, villains firast show of aggression is when trip kings are a possibility

Re: I suck at poker - 77 in the BB
 

yeah i would bet 2 or more on the flop, because when you go from betting to calling it is hard to know where you are at in the hand, especially against a player in LP that limped in. The only good move there, imo, would be to reraise to $10 or more, or fold it. A raise there would be read-dependent, if you know the player to be an aggressive raiser.
