Default HOH3 Problem 1

Harrington on Hold Em Vol 3. Problem One:

A: $2,740
B: $2,560
C: $2,260
D: $2,560 (you)
E: $2,380
F: $2,420
G: $2,600
SB: $2,600
BB: $2,380

This hand is from a typical large, online MTT. Early in the tournament. Players A and B have been splashing around a bit. Players 6 and the BB seem a bit tight.

It's folded to you in MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Do you fold (A), make a standard 3BB raise (B), raise it up to 6BBs to put more pressure on the rest to fold (C), or call (D)?

My first choice was raising 3BBs, and second was folding. What do you guys think?
