Limped pots with middle pairs, what's your plan?

You're BB/OOP in a limped pot HU, holding 76.
What's your flop+turn plan when the flop comes;

1- T 7 2
2- T 7 2
3- T 7 2

Does it change all that much if you're having 7Q?

(please provide your logic if you're using a good one, cause I don't seem to have one for the turn here)

I haven't read all of the responses yet but here goes...

My general plan for middle pair when BB hits it, in a limped pot, is to limp along and avoid action... so I'm checking flop here MOST of the time... if I have a read on villian that shows he will fold to a c-bet I often will c-bet it to win the pot right here. This hand can't stand a lot of action, so i'm trying to get out cheaply or win with minimal betting. In the third example the flush draw is there, but what happens if he holds the jack of spades (as QJ might be within his range?)... I don't like these situations personally and often just check them down... folding to any action.
