ALL pro articles I have read on this subject advise raising pre flop with A2 be it limit or pot limit.

I think this is a mistake that many people have. A2 with a flop with ANY 3 cards between 3 and 8 don't give you the LO nuts. You have a good % to win, but you still can lose if an A or a 2 appears in turn/river, so taken care of in believing that you have won the LO pot
