If you're going to fold this hand you should move to a game you can beat.

If I can't beat these guys, where's that gonna be?

I don't really care, but you've got everything you need to make money in this hand (position, implied odds, bad players, showdown value) and you're considering folding. It's May and the weather's good. If you're going to muck this hand you probably have better things to do than play cards.

In a five dollar rake game, which is pretty common everywhere but Vegas, folding this spot is not as horrendous as some on here are claiming, especially if you are playing for a living.

That said, I think open rasising far outpaces limping for a ton of reasons I am sure you can think of on your own. Control, the lead, possibly folding the SB, flop bluffing opportunity, etc....I think those advantages outweigh deception in a maximum 4 handed pot. If played, this type of hand needs to be played as the best hand in this situation......Or mucked
