Default Raising a potbuilder

NLHE online $2/$4, all stacks around $400, involved players generally pretty passive, hero´s image is to the tight side.

2 limpers, a raise to 8, a caller and hero on button raise to $50.

Which hands should call?
Why min. raise to 8 after 2 limpers?
If called by one, how do I proceed if checked to on flop?
Same Q if called by two opponents?

....or any other thoughts?

minraising is bad, especially preflop with limpers in the pot. if anyone folds for an extra bet they are terrible. you should be potbuilding by raising to a good size amount. the way you go about breaking potbuilders is to limp in with any powerful hands and push back at them when they raise their garbage.

I have found limp reraising to be pretty sketchy for the following two reasons. 1. they just fold and big deal you won 8$ 2. they just have a real big hand and you open yourself up to lose a lot.
