At the $10s I think the flop call is automatic even in the unraised pot. The "random garbage" factor is just too high, and since you can basically rule out a set you're only behind QJ and AA. Neither of these hands usually raises the flop either, so I think you can be pretty happy to make the call.

However there's no need to get cute by limping preflop. Just make a hefty raise and enjoy the bad calls. Honestly, open-pushing all-in preflop is probably not far from being the most +EV way to play this hand at the $10s. I recently moved up to the $30s and I'll often see something like this: level 1. UTG open-pushes for 800 with AA. MP calls with JJ. SB calls with 99.
