Default ($11) A very marginal holding, how would you play this?

Decided to limp in from SB, and the following flop came. How would you play this on the flop?

Check/fold?
Check/call?
Bet/fold?

Very curious, thanks

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1490)
Button (t1840)
Hero (t1480)
BB (t1730)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1160)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1300)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls t20, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t80) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero ??

Probably bet 60-70 on the flop.

I might also check it and watch the action. If it gets checked around to button and he bets, I might check-raise. If BB or UTG bet and it gets raised, I might fold. If UTG bets and button folds, I might just call.....if I just call, I would either check or lead turn depending on what falls.

I don't want to play a "huge" pot with blinds so small and your hand is not a real powerhouse. So just check/call.

If blinds were bigger I might check/raise. But I'm not willing to risk a lot of chips early on with a bad hand as yours.

I like the hand, but I don't love it.
There is no way I check. I want to know if he has something to play with and I'm not givng him a free card when I am likely ahead. A bet of 60 is likely to take it down or tell me he has something if he calls.

I check, because I plan on dumping this hand with 4 players ahead of me, and being OOP.

I check/fold, and call some random minbets at time hoping to hit two pair/trips, and bet turn is my line here.

This will win you a lot of money over the long run. Most of you, I feel, are vastly overrating the strength of your hand. This is definitely a win small pot/lose big pot scenario (should you bet).
