Default why not limp/call a raise here? NL10

I've been taught not to limp/call a raise.

In this case I'm utg+1 though and by the book it's not a raising hand, but a playable hand. If somebody where to raise say 5bb's after me I have a decent sized set mine here, and good implied odds. Not in this situation, but if it were a decent sized stack, and a smaller raise.

So why exactly not limp, and call here (if it were a 5xbb raise -100+bbdeep stack)? Is it because it screams set mine, and has negative long run equity? Do I just limp with this hand from EP, and if someone rasies fold. Raising this hand is not a great option on this table either.

Converter's not working for me.
