It may be a leak, but I generally call almost any pp if there are two people already committed to the pot. Those odds give SB and BB fair odds to call, and I don't even really mind a 3bet from behind me. I love a multiway capped pot with a low pp, because that set is golden when it hits, and I can usually let everyone else do the betting for me (at least until the turn or river c/r).
I don't much like 3 betting with a hand like 77, as I will have to call a cap, and half the deck will make me uncomfortable on the flop. 99+ and I am much happier. Seriously, how often do you see preflop limpers folding to a 3bet at these stakes?
Implied odds on a set, in a multiway limit hand, are just too good to be ducking for cover preflop. It's very easy for me to fold a missed flop, and very easy to make good decisions with a set when it hits.
For a long time I was folding pp too easily and it cost me a lot of fat pots that I should not have been missing. Now I probably play them a little too often, but I think it is still a more profitable approach.
In the OP hand he might as well have flipped over his ace-(KJT) when he just called your raise on the flop.
