Hand range practice

If you have some arguments I'd like to hear them. It may improve my game.

A lot has to do with the raise size. He raised to 4bb with 3 limpers. If you call 3bb from BB it's likely you'll be in a big multiway pot with a hand that plays well multiway. The fact UTG and UTG+1 limped then folded to a 3bb raise is weird, they're probably really bad, I would expect 4-5 way pot most of the time. You're looking to hit 2 pair or better and get paid off. SB will be playing very honest post flop multiway, and you've got position on him. If you miss or hit top pair vs SB who's still firing hard, you can fold and get away very cheap.

A portion of the time SB may have AQ or JJ and c/f flop when it comes K high rainbow, leaving you in the pot with the limp callers. You can still get value when you're ahead, SB isn't the only one in the pot.
