Why didn't you raise preflop? I dont play limit sngs, but isnt this an easy raise?

I wanted the short stack in the hand, since with 77 I figured to have a better hand than him. If I raised, he might just say screw it and wait for the next hand when he'd have the button. When I'm dealt 77 at the start of this hand, my goal is to get the short stack all-in, preferably with threeway action. Limping would be more likely to achieve that than raising.

Also, if I had raised preflop, the maniac in the BB would probably have threebet me (whether or not the short stack called my raise).
