Pure OESD, 4 limpers?

A hypothetical hand from a friend.

Blinds 150/300, you have 5000 before posting.

89s on button, 4 limpers, you limp. Flop T72 rainbow not your suit; all check. Your move?

How does your move change if the blinds were 100/200? 200/400? Assume everyone has your stack.

I would take the free card, either blind levels

In that situation, I'd check. I'd hate to get a check raise in that spot, and while a 600 bet only needs to take down the pot 1/3 times for it to be right, with 4 others in there with you, I am not sure you would take it down that often.

I'd feel much better about this if I had an OESD with 2 overs, then I'd make a half pot bet and wouldn't fear someone check raising me (although if they did, I wouldn't feel as confident about my 2 overs anymore, and wish I had a backdoor flush to go along with it).
