In my initial post in this thread, I asked about playing small PPs in EP. Anyone want to take a crack at that? Here is a snip of what's up in the initial post:

ANYWAY... what to do with smaller PPs in earlier position? From UTG-UTG+1, recently I'm inclined to toss 22-33 and raise with anything else. Here's why:

1) I hate open limping. If anyone is paying any attention at all, if I limp from EP, it's an obvious smaller PP. (At this point in my "game", unless the table is super tight, I don't play any SCs etc in EP.)

2) If these hands hit on the flop, I want to have some money in the pot so I get paid off. I see already that when my PPs hit, they are my big money winners. Seems it's worth a few folded PF bets to get paid off when they do hit.

I'm afraid putting these raises in may be a leak. How would I go about figuring out if putting in a small raise in EP w/small PPs is EV+ or EV-?

Sorry for being a pest about this, but I haven't found anything that addresses this situation specifically.
