Most of the posters aren't noticing that this is 1/2 and that you have no stealing equity (on 3rd anyways).

This is the key. You're not after stealing equity, you're after pot equity and this is a great situation No limper folds third. Even the bringer-in calls with two top trumps down. So the pot fattens. You then usually act first on fourth and bet and lots of limpers fold and you have the initiative in a fat pot and the advantage that your opponents will generally assume that you have at least AA so no one raises.
That has to be worth one bet on 3rd. Obviously, fourth can be really bad and you have to let it go when you catch a 2 and two opponents pair their door cards. But raising 3rd seems like a must to me.
