No. You should not be raising out of position with a marginal hand. Especially when you can check and get to see a free flop with said marginal hand.

Right.

1)out of position
2)free flop
3)this kind of hand is not good for showdown conflict. You make more $$$ seeing a cheap flop with implied odds to hit a straight/flush.
4)By betting you do not close out the action and give somebody the chance to raise you out of this pot....bye bye implied odds.
