Don't do it! Just take these guys into the value town! Raise more pre!

All the players had been playing relatively tight preflop including myself. Suddenly, both of them snap called with crap because it was cheap to call. They probably thought I was stealing the blinds even though I didn't steal their blinds before. Attention to BB's stack size: he is investing 10% of his chips to make this call. These guys' tendencies may lean toward calling at any stage of the game. So, make it bigger pre!
