just by reading the title I would've said fold.

After reading the post, I'd fold... barring a crazy read.

Lol, in a $15000 party SNG, Gigabet raises in a similar fashion, with a junk hand.

It's all about levels (of thinking) - in most cases this would be a fold, but in some rare cases it might not be a fold.

I agree with Evenkeal here on some levels. In this spot, just being moved to the table , I'd fold here. It's often going to get you in too much trouble b/c it is a hand that doesn't flop very well. Now elaborating on what Even said, a call here or reraise would make sense. If you have a good read on your table and notice a player who is capabable of making a reraise here with junk, you can go one step above and re-reraise them. It get's deep, but again, it really depends on levels of thinking. Here the situation calls for a clean FOLD.
