Default LP with 33, folded to you, you just got ITM, blinds 400/800

Down to three tables, you have above average chips with
32K and blinds are 400/800, in CO-2, and it's folded to you. These can be really
good spots to steal, with 33 (but lets say up to 66),
what is correct here?

Call and hope to see a blind fee flop, does'nt get any
cheaper than that.
Or raise 3x or even 4x with a 50 percent probability of
it being folded back to you. Along with a strong chance of seeing the turn free if they do call your raise. Is this purely stack size dependent?

Thanks for the input guys!

Easy raise. 2400.

This is not a hand to see the flop at all, but still strong enough to push.

I would be raising a ton of hands in this spot, but I'm not sure about this one. I'd consider calling, with the goal of flopping a set and winning a big pot. If the blinds were a little higher, I'd be more inclined to raise and take it down uncontested. My play would probably be dictated by how often I had raised during the orbit or two prior to this decision. The more I had raised in the past in the past 10-20 hands, the more likely I'd be to limp this one. If it had been a while since I'd raised it, I'd pump this one up.

Basically, either play sounds fine to me. I'd mix it up.

Anything in the 2400-3200 range is good. Hopefully you'll take it down PF, if you get called you might flop a set or win it with a continuation bet.

Personally I would raise here almost every time. Given you've already placed, it's time to take advantage of some of the stacks and steal a few pots here and there.

2400-3000 would be my personal choice.

Thanks guys, next similar situation, it's a 3 or 4x BB
raise. If the pot does'nt slide my way, I should at
least get to see a free turn card.
I got out HOH again last night, he pretty much agrees,
you need to make an information raise here.
And no Kx or Ax SHOULD call after your raise and you can fold to a re-raise.
