when we are in the SB we are always out of position so the BB can make our life a lot harder for us with 3b's and floats and other things, especially if we are playing a wide range of hands (hence why 3x or 3.5x open-raises are " standard" for most regs in the SB).
I agree with everything you wrote, but I still stand by the original point - if you minraise the button you give BB 7 to 2 odds to call, that's getting on for "call with any two" odds. I don't doubt that most of the time the BB won't exploit this, but it's something to be aware of.
Sure, you may have position and high SPR but that doesn't (and can't) nullify the outstanding odds you lay BB on a call, and if he adapts and calls wide enough he'll profit from this.
Just to throw a random observation out there, since any 2 unpaired hole cards make a pair about a third of the time on the flop, you give BB odds to call for "any pair", taking the obviously bogus and extremely crude assumption that this would necessarily win the hand for him. It does though illustrate that you can't really be offering these odds if villain will take advantage of them, and that if people do make a habit of minraising the button we should be calling _extremely_ light.
