I'm back thinking about this again, and I think Cardman is right ... you could justify just about any play here, I think -- fold, limp or raise. Probably depends on your sketchy read of the table to this point and, most importantly, where your comfort zone lies.
Personally, I tend to be a control freak sometimes, so I'm going to raise. Absent a wild lunatic or two at the table, I don't want to fold it. I want to know now if anyone else has a good hand, so I don't want to just limp with it. Don't really want to commit many chips to it, either, but that's the only option left.
I think I'm pretty good at the difficult art of knowing when to let something go. And I also am able to stay focused, make adjustments and not go into a panic when my stack is short. So I don't mind mixing it up to see what's what.
