In NL where you can often limp in cheap, but still break someone if you hit your hand the implied odds are through the roof. This is also true in limit hold em games with mini blinds or in 7 card stud games where the bring in bet is abnormally low.

This is interesting about the mini-blinds games. I've heard it either way, as in you should play looser cause you get in cheap or tighter because your draws are likely to be expensive relative to the pot. I think a mini blind structure probably increases the relative value of mid/low pocket pairs, while decreasing the value of connectors and suited cards somewhat linearly with the postflop aggression of the rest of the table.
Loose limping can also be severely punished. Some one can effectively 3-bet you at any time. (Call the $2, raise to $6.)
