Yah but it's for when you don't have a premium hand, just a playable one. It's more about the fact that you are playing bigger pots in position than out of position; ie you are playing for more money in a more advantageous situation. I haven't thought it through enough to decide whether it really gives you an advantage (after all, you're investing twice as much). Also, on the flop sometimes people will check to the preflop raiser, expecting him to bet, even if you've only made a pathetic min raise (and I;ve often seen preflop minraisers autobet the pot when checked to on teh flop, which is ridiculous). If you see people doing this, then you might want to min-raise every hand you play in position as this gives you a pretty big advantage (you can take loads of free turns if you desire).
