Re: Calling PF raises from the big blind
[ QUOTE ]
One villain did this more than once, and in the future I might try a re-raise to see if it is a steal attempt. If the raise comes from an EP player and 2 others call (3 others call, 4 call), is the pot big enough to call with my BB discount?

NO! Fold trash hands! K9-K2 are trash, even if they're suited...especially do not play those hands with 4 other donks in the pot. If you have K9 and a King comes out on a rainbow flop, you're beat by KT, KJ, KQ, KK, and AK which are all possibilities when 3 or 4 other villians are in the pot. What are you hoping to gain by calling a raise that three other people have already called? Are you hoping to flop trips, a boat, or a King high flush if you're suited? Sure you might get a King high flush and win sometimes, but a lot of the time you'll be beat by an Ace high flush.
In my first response, I misread your post. I thought you said suited K9-K2, not offsuit (that's even worse). If the action folds to the button and you've seen him raise on a frequent basis, then go ahead and defend with K9o. But in the example you gave me, you're asking if you should call a preflop raise that 3 other people who have position on you already called. Just throw the hand away.
