I don't get it.

I've read the whole thread and don't see why you wouldn't make a standard raise here.

I'm raising 1200-1500 here essentially 100% of the time. the only time I might play it differently if the villian is known to be aggressive in LP, so his limp is highly suspicious.

And basically any pair is calling your push here, as it smells like a steal. And you're not so desperate than you need a coinflip yet.

Also remember that many small pairs will fold on the flop after you make a standard raise and a continuation bet, because most of the times the board is scary for small pairs.
