This is a bad habit to get into - you leave too much reverse implied odds raising to only 4x behind a couple limpers. BB is getting better than 2 to 1 on his cold call.

Yeah, but if we have only one limper ahead of us and people left to act after us raising to 5xbb rather than 4x doesn't really do much imho....I agree though if we have 3+ limpers then we need to start pumping it up more to take away the odds.

This is another bad habit - try to see him showdown in a similar situation against someone else. I have spent WAAAYYYY too much money buying information that was freely available to the alert and patient.
Again, agree but it's situational still. In a case like this, if the villain hasn't been at the table too long then I'm not too averse to paying off $1 into $5.51 for some info because the line just looks hinky and could save more more in the long run.
