I play 6 max, but I often raise these bets. You can often take the pot from a scared 99-QQ type hand that you're worried will beat you at showdown. I think just raising>folding>calling because in just calling you will be paying off on hands you might have stolen from, or giving Ax or draw type hands free/cheap shots to beat you. Also, remember the metagame considerations. If you are raising in spots like these as well as with big hands, big draws, etc., your opponents are going to get sick of it and play back at you and you'll get more action on big hands.
