I'm hardly an expert, but there's no way I'd even limp here, and certainly wouldn't call a raise. If the button has any experience at all, he's going to use that big stack to bully people around. He will almost certainly raise whether you limp or not, forcing BB to call all-in or give up his blind.

All you have to do is stay out of the way another couple of orbits, and unless the short stack gets lucky and doubles up, you're in the money. Let the big stack do the work for you. If he won't, the next guy surely will.

Once you have third locked up you can go for first. Winning first makes your bankroll go up quickly when you hit it, but just winning third nearly every time would give you a fully-funded retirement plan.
