"raising so few hands lets me limp with an extremely wide range"

thats also assuming you know something about the villian (or they know something about you), against an unknown id always raise

In general, I like to open raise often from the SB. Here, I like the complete better for the reasons I mentioned. If villain raises, you can push, call, or fold. In a limped pot, our hand has deception, and we can often get paid off if an ace hits. If you raise, you are not happy unless villain folds.

Incidently, open pushing is cEV+ here, and avoids playing a hand OOP, but I am sure gobbo thinks he has a skill advantage and can get the most EV by playing a limped pot.
