Me: AJo on the button.
Four limpers to me.
I raise 4x, $1 to go.
One of the limpers raises 32x, to $8.

I fold.

Do they just think I'm stealing from the button?
This limp-raise is super annoying to me. It's like a pre-flop check-raise. What do you put a person like this on? Premium cards? A middle pair?
In my experience, a limp reraise almost always means pocket pair. The earlier their position the bigger the pair.

Many times players will limp w/ small pp hoping to flop a set, you raise them and then they decide their willing to race or win it there. If they're UTG however, they might be trapping.

It of course depends on the player and also your table reputation. If you've been raising on the button constantly, the person might think you're full of it. If that person is acting right before you, then I may consider pushing with AJ to make them let go of their junk. There's no way they knew that you or the blinds would have raised so obviously their hand wasn't strong enough to raise in the first place.
