All of this makes the proposition of raising w/ the small pairs iffy at best. Not the worst and not the best, just so-so. I figure I'd rather not bother. I'm talking the tiny pairs here but since it's close overall I'd not argue it much.

With small pairs I agree it's probably slightly -EV (although there are metagame aspects to consider), but with TT or JJ I raise here for value every time. I think it's clearly (although not necessarily hugely) profitable to do so.
