How do you handle a mid-pair preflop, when there's a limp, and a raise in front of you? 1st hand at this table, no reads

TT is a good hand. TT is a better hand when we have position on the preflop aggressor. Personally, I don't care to play a strong but vulnerable hand such as TT multi-way. Reraise to isolate.

Yep. If Chumb comes over the top though, you have to consider laying it down unless his raise gives you the proper odds to try and hit your set and break him.

I usually just flat call in this spot but that's because I prefer keeping pots smaller preflop.
I don't mind reraising though.

Thanks for the replys. I just called. 1 other play called. Flop came uncoordinated Qhigh. From there, it just got rediculous.
It was checked to 2nd caller, he min-bet. Original raiser folded, I called. Turn, check/called nother minbet. Same on river. He had 77
Now, when should I have raise here?
P.S. I know this hand was brutal, I was like a fish out of water :x

I would have raised the flop.

I think the way this hand played out, the only time I would have raised was preflop or on the flop to really find out if he has the Q. Other than that, I like calling those min-bets on the turn and river.

Nah I like the way he played it. If he had raised after the flop then chances are the other player would have called and got hero thinking he was most likely alreay beat. This way we assume we MIGHT be beat but villian could also be a donk.
Had a 10 hit this board on the flop then I would say raise after the flop but only a small min. raise. If a ten hit the turn then keep calling him down but raise the river.
