    the big blind in this hand had done a lot of limping and one instance from history he limped 1 otb and i raised on the button to 3.5x bb and he called...he seemed to a larger majority of raises after he had previously limped if the raise was within reason..

    with that said would you prefer checking her and playing a flop...betting a reasonable amount and going from there or betting like 4 or 4.5x the big blind and winning the hand outright???

    Whatever you do, don't check the flop. He might have 2J off and catch a jack. 4 betting is signalling you have a low or medium pair so he might decide to fold.

    I would pop it up to around 1400 and re-evaluate after flop.
