Re: Almost first in, baby pair
I don't think a fold would be awful, but if you play better than everyone else, playing is the most +ev play. With this SPECIFIC big blind, who is likely to c/c the whole way without you having any real idea of his cards (since he may not know himself!), folding has more merit than usual...but I'd still limp here.
Your best bet to win money in this spot is to call, entice the SB in, and hit your set. The implied odds should be huge, and you can just muck quietly if you miss and anyone bets.
BTW: if the BB was not a lock to call like this, I raise all day to try to get heads up with weak limper.
