Interesting. I thought everybody had a cap on no-limit raises when not heads-up. I've used that to my advantage a couple times when people were being silly with min-raises with a sequence like:

UTG: "Raise to $10."
UTG+1: "Make it $15"
Me: "Is there a 3-raise cap?"
Dealer: "yes"
Me: "Make it $20".
UTG: "I'M ALL IN!!!"
Dealer: "I'm sorry sir, the betting is capped"
UTG: "WTF!!!!"

I couldn't have called with my middle pair since it was clear one of these min-raisers was gonna pounce when it came back around, but with the raise capping it I could come in safely.

The cap is necessary to keep two guys from whipsawing a third for all his money.
