8-handed dude.. so he's in MP2.

i'd raise.

If you are going to play that hand pf you should raise, not call. Anytime you are the first in from MP you should almost always think about raising or folding. Personally I am folding this, but I am on the tighter side. I would only raise it with reads of tight players from MP2 to the button.

I have found open-limping to be more profitable
than than open-raising. (Small sample, blah blah blah).

I read an article detailing a ~2 million hand simulation that found always open-raising to be less profitable as well. You win more with open-rasiing, but you win less on average.
