I wouldn't play that hand for the half price discount in the SB, let alone raise with it.

I think you've gone a bit far with things. Raising with trash in a trash position is just dumb.

How do you not at least limp with this from the SB? It's a great draw hand. Most hands are draw hands. This hand has some great potential to win a big pot. Not very often, but when it does it can be huge. And when it doesn't win, it's usually gonna be a small loss if played right.
