Just call from the SB and play no set/no bet.

Do you think it's bad to raise here? I usually raise all my PPs pf. If you think this guy is going to min-raise you is it a bad idea?

I don't think it's bad to raise 44 here. I just don't see an overwhelming reason to do so at NL10. Which I assume has more limped pots and more loose passives than levels above. Just limp it, blend in, value bet the heck out of it when you hit your set.

I usually raise these for a few reasons:
-fold everyone pf and take it down now
-build a decent pot so if I hit a set I can more easily stack someone
-Take the initiative in the hand and cbet the flop which will usually take the pot down.

When you just limp with a pp here you lose all of the above and its a lot more difficult to stack someone if you hit.
