This is about a lot more than preflop equity. Raising here makes the hand play out in a completely different, and very favorable, way. It should allow you to get heads up with the donator at the table post flop in a lot more situations, since it seems reasonable to asume that the other two are going to be much more likely to give up if they miss once you put in a pfr.

In fact, I would be even more inclined to do it against three mediocre limpers who are going to be able to release if they whiff. Here, youve got one guy who is probably going to stay with you even if he competely misses and youre OOP. Against super l/p donks, i really would rather do this on the button.

i;m running out the door, so i hope that doesnt sound like giberish.
