Have you got any reads on your opponents?

Only joking! 60 chips in the pot, playing the equivalent of 5 handed and with 2 limpers, i'd personally stick it up to 80 or so. No-one will fold, but there'll be a pot worth winning if you do flop a hand.

Not really a hand to be losing much sleep over though.

Thanks rob. I know it's not much but I'm starting at square one with hand posting. I think I need to learn from the ground up all over again.

This is a standard check for me. We're out of position, the pot's tiny, and we have a marginal hand. Nevermind the fact that it's a freeroll and you're only sweetening the pot with all this in mind - not pushing anyone out.

Check and play two pair or better very fast.

Standard check. It's a freeroll, if you raise one of two things will happen.

1) You will get 2-3 calls and will have inflated the pot while OOP with a marginal hand.

2) One of the limpers will randomly shove or reraise and you won't be able to call.

Neither of the above is good. You're up against (generally speaking) the worst players in the poker world and 4 of the 6 players to your left are sitting out, there will be better spots to throw money at than KJs OOP preflop with 3 limpers, Just check and try and hit a big flop (you shouldn't really be comfortable even flopping TP here against three other players whose ranges are basically two cards).

Thanks very much guys. I did check. Flop was little black cards, there's a bet, I fold. And again, I really do appreciate the feedback since, for now, this is more about me learning to ask for help than the actual hand. CC rules!
