I run into this situation often when playing micros. There's an open limp from MP and 1 or 2 callers. I'm in the BB with a trash hand that hits the flop. I can adjust to my opponents, but I have no baseline from which to adjust.
This is a fictional hand.
_______________________________________
MP, BT and SB all limp.
Hero in BB has 
pot is 4BB
Flop comes out 
SB checks
Hero? I feel like b/f is the best play here. I'm very happy to win the pot now and it seems easy to run away from a raise, but when MP or BT just calls is where I get really lost. It's hard to tell if I'm actually ahead here and there are so many bad turn cards for me, I don't know how I could ever be comfortable with this hand. Am I nearly always c/f'ing the turn?

I b/f flop. If I get 1 caller and turn is blank I b/f again and check river if not improved. If I get 2 callers on flop I'd c/f turn.

without more info on villains, c/f'ing
vs only one villain with position, b/f'ing

I sometimes b/f, b/c, c/c or c/f. Really depends on the number of and type of opponents. Generally looking to play a small pot though and get to a showdown.

i'm definitely b/f this flop. i'll probably b/f the less dangerous looking turn cards as well
