Not even close.

And yeah, raising to $6 preflop with limpers is very bad.

Small raises in late position against many limpers with speculative hands are often not bad plays in this game. Take 9c8c against the blinds and 3 limpers. Calling on the button leaves the pot at $11. If I flop a flush draw, I might have to fold it to a $10 bet. By making a small raise preflop, I can manipulate the size of the pot so that I have proper odds to call a max bet if I flop a drawing hand.

How many draws do you think you're going to flop with a pair of eights, Heywood? If you had a speculative hand, you'd have a point. You don't. You have a hand that plays vbest heads up or against a lot of players. Playing it against two for a small raise is bad bad bad.
