This is a useless raise. Not one of the people who limped in will fold. The only possible strategic purpose of this raise is if your hand is the magical great hand that can hold up and win a large percentage of the time in a six or seven-way pot. i.e. You better hold kings or aces if you do this. And then you still better have your good luck charms on your person. A lot of times if someone raises like that, I'll go ahead and raise it to $2 to do their work for them. If we're gonna play, let's PLAY.

I f'n hate that. Particularly from the BB. Then we have to make the full pass around the table, and let everyone who was getting the exact same odd.... continue to get the exact same odds. Sometimes, for sheer meanness, I'll get a checkraise in here just to piss people off if I have the stack to do it.
My other pet peeve is the post-oak betters. I was playing a very loose weak homegame. There was a pot of about 300 chips out there (A large amount by the table standards, and the guy to my left would constantly lead out with a bet of.... 2 chips. Who in the hell is gonna fold to that. He whined a lot too, because everytime he did that, I would come WAY over the top of him. He didn't know how to handle it... but I hate post oak bluffers.
