I was at a loss whether or not to raise this hand, because I wanted action, but limping seemed dangerous.

Should I have limped or raised (and if so, how much)?

Thanks in advance.

Raise, of course.

raise and pray he thinks its a steal. Not a big raise, just enough to discourage him from playing any 2 cards. Collecting the blinds is fine.

Raise 2.5x the blind

Raise 2.5x the blind

I Agree.
THis allows u to keep ur c-bet smaller too.
