Do They Want Action or Not?

Seeing a lot of limping and checking here in the early going. Recently saw a player make a raise to 100 from middle position, and it folded back to the small blind. "Is that a raise?" asked the SB. "A min-raise," said the player in the big blind. "He wants my action bad," he added.

The SB folded, the BB called, and the flop came {7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The big blind checked, and the min-raiser continued with a bet of 200. "You look too serious," said his opponent as he folded.
