If I reraise to $30, Im not going to get 2 callers hardly ever, and probably not getting 1 caller more than 15% of the time.

At least in the games Im play.

Edit: the following is my current 5-max guidelines, thats pretty relevant
I will raise with A6o+ and KTo+ on the button with 2 limpers just to steal, unless the limpers are known strong players. Maybe I'm atypical?

Playing large pots out of position sucks.

Hopefully I'll take it down right there; if not, 50% chance of taking it down with a cbet. If I'm called I can check/fold. If the flop comes Qxx no draws and the cbet is called, then I'm prepared to make some tough decisions.

You need to make this at least 25 if you raise, good chance you get at least one caller if not two. You are going to miss the flop 1/3 of the time and blindly throw a continuation bet of 35 in effort to take it down.

FYP. Or maybe my raises are too weak, but at the stakes I play, they work just fine. I guess this is where the difference in stakes is relevant. Regardless, in my experience, I take it down 2/3 of the time (if I miss but villain also misses it's usually mine).
