With these stack sizes, what are you looking to accomplish by limping behind? Getting all in on the 842 flops? Can't much play for set value given MP2's stack size.

Not disputing that you have a good case, I'm just trying to work this out in my head. It seems to me that we'll get stuck in there vs. what is likely AA or KK on many safe looking flops. We don't have a lot of wiggle room here once a bet is made on the flop.

If you are 100% sure that he has AA/KK then you are limping purely for set value which is ok as its less than 10%. It is also possible to not go broke on an all low flop. Just play carefully, like call the flop and fold the turn if he bets twice. You are in one of two situations. Either you are 100% sure he has AA/KK in which case you are just deep enough to limp only for set value, or you fear it enough to not raise, but aren't completely sure, in which you should be playing carefully on safe flops which has some value.

He's deep enough to limp for set value, and don't forget your limp will probably encourage others, especially the blinds, to come in cheap and there will be plenty of implied odds.
