It's all about the odds you are laying with your raise. Let's simplify it -- one raiser who made it .08, the pot is .11, and you want to 3bet from the BB.
min-3bet -- you bet .12, the pot is now .23 and the original raiser has to call .04.
3bet 3x the original raise -- that means you have to add .24 on top of the original .08, making it .32 total. That makes the pot .43 and the original raiser is getting a little less than 2:1.
Isn't that a lot better than offering them 4:23 odds (almost 6:1) with a min-raise? Unless he has AA, they do not actually have the right immediate odds to call 2:1, but you will still get a lot of calls. A lot of times, they won't -- oh well, you'll get them next time. And sometimes, they turn up AA -- that's poker, it's standard with 100BB to get it all into the middle with KK unless you know he *never* goes AI preflop with anything less than AA.
