Let`s Play A Hand IIWe`re 5 handed (waiting for a player to be eliminated so we can go to the final table) it`s a small MTT and 3 places pay.
Chip stacks are;
Seat 2: Lovalee (1,605)
Seat 3: ericqc82 (2,470)
Seat 4: 5Elwood5 (3,381)
Seat 6: DangerMouse420 (4,920)
Seat 8: lkport (3,939)
lkport posts the small blind of 60
Lovalee posts the big blind of 120
We have the button and are dealt Kc Jc
UTG and UTG+1 both call and the action is on us.
This is an unusual situation for how this table has been playing. For the most part pre-flop raises have been taking down pots and there have been very few limpers.
Fold, call or raise?

i'm thinking if the tables been playing that way, there B monsters lurking, I'd call for the suckout value, but fold to any flop bets if I didn't hit large...

It's hard to say what limping means when it hasn't been happening, but KJ suited seems like enough of a hand to limp behind. If someone puts in a raise, you can decide what to do in position with your sizable stack, and if that happens to be folding, you haven't lost chips that really matter.

Raise it up then... make it 600 to go.

I like this train of thought

Yup I was thinking along the same lines. I had chips and position so I called.
KN, It`s possible a raise here was the right move but to stay "in character" with my standard raises I`d have to make it in the region of 1,000-1,200. That was too much to invest in an unsure situation imo.
So we call.
The SB folds and the BB checks. The pot is 540 and we go to the flop which comes
10d 4s Jh
The BB bets 120 and UTG calls. UTG+1 folds and the action is on us
Call, fold or raise?

Tough spot
I'm thinking you're in front here but if you raise can you get the BB to fold if they are drawing
Its UTG calling which bothers me more
I'm probly min raising here and hoping theres no action after me

I`m worried by two things here. The EP "donkbet" and the smoothcall. I`m convinced at least one player has a draw and I have a nagging feeling the other player has a made hand. I could have raised for information but I`m pretty sure I`ll get the information I need in the next betting round. So I opted for calling.
The turn is the 2s giving us a board of
Td 4s Jh 2s
The BB leads out for 360 and UTG calls.
The pot is now 1560
The action is on us, call, fold or raise?

With Lovalee starting on (1,605) they now have over 1/3rd of their stack invested, I'm not sure you can get them off.
It's not a scary board for you yet, but would be inclined to dump it.
