Playing a pocket pair

[Ice]

Hi All

Here's a hand i played last night and wanted to get some input. The game is 10-20 with basically bad players except for one solid player and myself. I'm under the gun with pocket 33 and limp. The next guy limps as do two others and the big blind raises who can be aggressive and everyone calls.

There are 10 sb in the pot and the flop comes 852 rainbow. The bb bets i raise two people call and the big blind reraises and i muck. A set of 2's won the pot and the bb had QQ and paid off.

Was it worth raising with pocket three's in a decent size pot to see if you could thin the field to you and the bb?
Remember everyone limped except the bb implying they had junk and the bb could have easily had overcards who i could possibly get head up with in this decent size pot.All thoughts welcome. Ice
