I think you should raise preflop.

Not that I'm all that good at value betting the river myself (currently rereading the River Play sections in SSHE over and over), but I think with no sign of strength, including limping in preflop, I would be inclined to try a bet on the river.

I think we agree that calling is the worst option, yes?

Calling>folding>raising imo. If the players left to act is extremely tight then maybe raising>folding>calling or raising>calling>folding, but at my average 5/10 table I would limp, easy. And playing an average 2/4 table raising would be terrible and folding really bad.

At a 2/4 table, raising from MP2 2nd in will most often result in a 3-4 way pot, and paying 2 bets to see the flop against 2-3 players would really suck with 44.

readless raising is aweosme. Without a read limper have crap. We have a pair and a pair beats crap. We should raise and rely on our limper to just call and then fold if he misses like he usually will. How could you not raise here.

Your reasoning is so weird. You're in MP2 and you're playing 2/4 and you assume a raise will get you hu.

This is terrible. You'll almost never get it HU and even if you do your hand has some pretty bad reverse implied odds.
