So if I have 22 on the button and it limps around to me, a minraise would be a good idea?

I'm starting to see... You play a bigger pot, *somebody* will probably pay you off for a 2 on the flop, and you can c-bet if all but one person folds.

It's fine to do w/ aces sometimes.

Also pot sweetening isn't really what I'm talking about but it's one situation where it's an okay idea.

Yeah, that's the idea. I'm not saying this should be standard, but it's a good play to use from time to time.
