anyone else advocate a limp followed by checkraise? or ok as played? or is there a better alternative line not yet mentioned?

Given what you say that people tend to be overly aggressive at this particular site, shouldn't the right line here be to wait for a solid holding and THEN turn up the aggression? If you (too) play marginal hands aggressively, you're setting yourself up to be stacked.

My humble opinion is limping, folding to a raise (if no reads) and waiting to hit that set or get a power pair in the hole.

yes, as I stated earlier the way the game seems to play here that might very well be the only feasible line. seems like weak-tight play here can be very profitable, just haven't seen enough to make that adjustment yet.
