Yeah, you're right. Expected value goes up in absolute dollar terms the bigger the pot is in a +EV spot. That's what I was getting wrong. So that would actually be an argument for doing something like min raising a low pocket pair in a limped multiway pot where your expressed+implied odds make playing the hand +EV. Plus, as I mentioned before, you're more likely to stack someone with just top pair in a lower SPR pot. The problem though, it seems, is that the min raise both defines your hand and opens you up to being reraised either by a stealer or someone who had limp-raise intentions.
