anyone fold this pre flop due to blind structure and relative position to the raiser?

Relative position is really good. You want to be able to face the field with 2 with a hand that when paired is still pretty magrinal.

alright, so your point is that if you flop a big draw, you dont really care about your position because you will have a ton of equity and you can ram and jam. if you flop a marginal hand, you are in the best position to protect your weak holding? that sound about right?

Pretty much. You can play a hand like this just for flush/straight value alone with this many limpers. Being able to take down pots with pairs because of good relative position is a bonus.
