Does anybody raise here?

What do they have when they make this stunt? A weak K? Any part of the board? Absolutely nothing? Bottom two?

I see this pretty frequently, and I've never managed to figure out the deal?

my natural reaction is to raise this and shut down if called.

rich thats really bad at the 50/90 level. Alright at lower levels where people are doingthat with 77 but people at this level know how often leads get raised thereofre its usually stronger tp hand than some middle pair.
