Playing Blinds vs Smallish Raises (Examples)

3rd hand I would call because someone else has come into the pot as well. You are getting 5:1 with a good multiway hand where you could hit a variety of flops and win a nice pot if you connect.

I agree with the call, but not the reason. The pot odds pale in comparison to the implied odds. BB is in a good position relative to the SB and the preflop raiser for action on the flop. Stacks are still deep. And the suited semi-connector is good enough to take a flop in hopes of flopping a big hand, checking through to the preflop raiser, seeing what SB does, then acting "last" with a fold, call, or raise.
