On the original call, you are getting 3, 4 or 5 to 1. On the call of the raise, you are getting 11 to 1. What hands will you play getting 3 to 1 odds, that you won't play for 11 to 1. Obviously, if it was right to call the limp, it is right to call the raise.

The only situation where you would consider folding, after calling the blinds, is where it comes back to you for three bets, because now you know that there are potentially multiple big hands out there, so you are behind unless you have a premium hand. In fact, now some hands that you might limp with, say AJ off, are likely in a lot of trouble, because you might not have many outs. Additionally, the presence of a raise and three bettor, likely means that the hand will be contested on the flop, so the price you have to pay to see the turn has also just gone up. So you might fold to a threebet if you had just limped in originally.

If you want to take advantage of the limpers, the way to do it is to threebet the raiser, and create some dead money in the pot. But you have to have a hand that can compete with the raiser here.

Good Luck,
Play Well,
