The big blind is going to call any raise here, guaranteed. The small blind knows I could very well raise any hand here that is likely to be ahead of two random hands, and will therefore play back at me with a raise or call with a variety of hands. I limp. Do you see why? (Sorry, couldn’t resist). As soon as I do this I realize the small blind is going to narrow down my hands to a small sub-set, and determine I am going to play the flop tough if any rags flop.

I think this is a reason to raise pre-flop. 55 plays pretty well heads' up against a re-steal, and you don't mind if the BB comes along for the three-bet.
By the way, I would re-raise/cap in both situations. Do you see why? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
