Default Re: My 25NL Adventure/Pilgrimage

A question regarding the starting hand chart. Seen this countless of times.

When I first spotted that I should limp with crap from late position when there are limpers before me I was a bit 'wtf?' because it didn't make sense to me. There is no edge to play the same crap hands everyone else is playing. But then I realized it must because of the pot odds. As long as I get to see the flop cheap.
What if, imagine I'm CO and there are two limpers before me in 6max, button limps, sb minraises or raises to 4xbb(not anything bigger like 4+1/limp). BB calls and the two limpers before me call. Am I still getting the pot odds to call the raise considering there is only one acting behind me(or none)? I guess I would be looking at 1-2 solid hands at best knowing people tend to be rather loose preflop in lowlimits.
