This is a fairly important point. Preflop the idea behind raising to 2,5BB or even min-raising from BTN is, that it makes it cheap to steal the blinds, which again allow us to widen our range, if the opponents are not defending enough. But this is clearly not the case at 2NL. People are beginners and/or playing for fun, so if anything they are defending their blinds to much. As evidenced by this hand where someone called from small blind with T9o. So in this game we should use a stronger range and a larger size to punish that need to see a flop even out of position.

And when we essentially flop the nuts, then we can just pile money in. Even if we bet full pot, its still only 45c. Nobody care about 45c, so if they like their hand, they are still going to call. Nathan Villiams AKA Blackrain79 talk a lot about this in his first book. And while you cant take these exploitative lines quite as far, as you could a decade ago, you can certainly still be extremely unbalanced at 2NL and still get paid.
