Seems to me I see a lot of people at 5nl adopting this min raising strategy in EP with marginal hands. Problem with that is that once you know what they are doing and have a note on them, it becomes pretty transparent. Personally, I either standard 4xbb raise my small pairs in EP or just lay them down, depending on the table tightness/aggressiveness. At tight/passive tables, I tend to raise them and they often take the blinds or I get one caller and a cbet on a good flop often does the job. At loose/aggressive tables, where I am likely to get multiple callers or be 3b, I lay them down.

Min raising is bad in general, since you lay such good odds for anyone to call with a half decent hand.
