I would bet, trying to protect my hand.

Bet. You should rarely call a bet with a weak hand in such a situation, but betting with it here is probably correct. In addition, being shorthanded it may devalue your opponent's holdings somewhat.

Bleh.

I would check and see what's going on while not being anywhere near excited about my hand or my prospects.

*grunch*
check call and reeval.

Nothing is folding here with 3 players behind you. All you are doing is building up the pot. I don't like a C/R here as we have no idea if we are good or not and will have a difficult decision on the river if the turn is blank.

What hands are folding here that we would like to fold??

Then after that question.....

What hands are calling this bet that we want to stay in?

not a big pot, vulnerable to a flush draw and a small possibility of a straight draw. Wouldn't like to see your Jd or 3d outs hit on the turn. I c/c.

Check, always fold for 2, for 1 bet depends on the precise action. Raise, fold, or call are all plausible for one bet.

I would probably check this and see what the limpers do. If the button bets when checked to I'll probably go for the raise then. I don't like getting trapped by these BB hands. Someone gave me the advice to generally check these multiway to see what happens behind. With 2 less people I would play it more aggressively.
