I'm on the button, with 5 limpers and the blinds yet to play. Basically, I saw this as semi-dead money if I raise, so I made a 5XBB raise.
Was that too little? I figured if I did much more, it would look too obvious as a pot steal and might get called just on that basis.
Mind you, I forgot to look at HUD, which would have told me the table is VP$ 46.4, so it probably was a bad idea to begin with.
