what would you do? ( Middle Limit Hold'em Poker )
A $20-$40 game. You are in the small blind with the J :diamond: -T :diamond: . A middle player limps, the button calls, you call, and the big blind raps. Four of you see a flop of 8 :diamond: -7 
-3 :spade: . You have two overcards, a gutshot, and a backdoor flush-draw. What do you do?

If the flop ends up checked around, I'm not unhappy with this result either.
Your hand is strong *if* your overcards are really worth the 6 outs they might be worth. More importantly, this is a flop that is likely to have missed everyone. This is why I'd assume that the MP or button will probably open the betting if it's checked to him. Time for the semi-bluff re-steal package on the flop. :cool:
Why do I like just calling the BB? It's more likely that the J & T are outs, since the BB is more likely to have some piece of that flop (to be exact, one pair). In this case, my draw is probably better, and I'm less likely to push the opponent off the hand with aggressive play.

*I'd also probably just call if the MP bets and the button calls, for similar reasons as just calling the BB.
Their answer for what it is worth was the following:
Bet. You have only three opponents, none who have shown strength preflop. One of them is the blind. The flop is rainbow, good for your hand type. The flop cards are low enough that your bet has a decent chance of not getting called, and you have a reasonable hand to fall back on of someone plays.
