I'm all for raising when you maybe don't have the best hand if it's justified, but this is a spot for a call, and not a fold or a raise. 3-betting MAY get not only the blinds, but also the three limpers to fold and now you're heads-up against the cut-off guy.

That's not what you want, especially since his cut-off raise is invariably more than a steal raise, given the limpers ahead of him, and even if he's just buying the button, it's not the EV move, given the cap-risk and everything else.

By simply calling, you may lure in the blinds AND keep in the limpers, having a nice 7-way pot for 7BB going into the flop and you have a nice hand with position on the field (even though your relative position is horrid, given that you are first to act after the PF raiser).

I have to go with call > fold > raise (but the last two are pretty much almost equally bad).
