I'm just interested in the preflop game, and it's only a coincidence that this is a winning hand, my question is in general. Now SHC says that from SB I should fold speculative hands due to a raise if there aren't any callers, but here I can be sure that at least one of the limpers will call the raise(I'm speculating).
So is it OK to call a raise with speculative hands if you can be sure somebody will call it after you, even if nobody called in front of you?
