easy raise. The EP limper bet into a preflop raiser. It is very unlikely that he thinks he can take down the pot with a flop bet so he likely has a hand with some showdown value. More likely than not, you wont lose the MP with a raise and if you do lose him , you are very unlikely to get a turn bet out of him. Most players arent folding a small pair or 2 overs in this situation

It's most certainly not an "easy" raise, if it even is one.
