Something I just don't get

[Cleveland Guy]

I'm still in my "Newb" and learning phase, but the last couple nights I have seen a few players do this and I just don't get it. Should I be reading anything into it? or is it just stupidity?


Example.

.5/1 PLO on pokerroom - 10 seated

UTG -limps
UTG +1 - Folds
EP1 - Limps
MP1 - Folds
MP2 - Limps
LP - Limps
Co-1 - Min Raise to $1


I just don't get the min raise here? your not going to thin the field, and you open it up for an early player to re-raise. Is there any "Smart" thinking why a late player would do this?
