check flop.

Really evaluate bets from your opponents based on their relative position, looseness, and passivity. Be more inclined to fold against Tight/Passive and Loose/Passive guys betting, and more inclined to call against Loose/Agro and Tight/Agro guys. Be more inclined to call when you're closing the flop action, or if the guy who bets closes the action and is a indiscriminate pot-stabber. Be more inclined to fold if an early or MP guy bets out a good amount, or if the last guy to bet is not a chronic pot-stabber.

As said before, this is a situation by situation scenario on whether or not to continue in the hand. Just keep in mind you have horrible reverse implied odds, crappy position, and tons of opponents in the hand. Don't go broke in unraised pots.

Why are people around here so afraid to generalize their plays. I hate to break it to you, but your decision probably depends on many fewer factors than you think...why can't we start to generalize what a hero should optimally do in a few standard variations of this situation?

You're playing the wrong game if you don't want to think critically to "play optimally".
