Not strictly hand analasys, but a general strategy question.
I see no point in min-raising pre-flop in virtually any situation, yet even in the bigger buy-in tournament ($50-$200), I see people doin it all over the place.
What's the point???!!!

Pisses ppl off, isolates players, gives you a looser image, builds the pot.

If you've been playing nice & tight, can't a min raise be used as a bluff raise in early position ?
Sort of ..
You know this guy bets 3x BB with AK in mid position, therefore a small OOP raise means that he must have a massive hand, because we all know it's a pot building bet .
Or is that too much Kursal Flyers ?

My observations are that the majority of times the initail mini raiser folds to a re raise but have seen AA and QQ mini raised but generally its weaker Ax off type hands.
If your already in a hand and get mini raised do you fold? if so, your starting requirements might ned to be addressed.
Its not a tactic i employ but my experiances suggest the majority of the time the mini raiser is just saying I am weak

i use the minimum raise sometimes in early position when i have a hand i wanna see a flop with, especially when the blinds are low.
people less likely to re raise so then u get to see the flop.
other than that cant stand minimum raisers lol

Why? Telegraphs a donks hand perfectly for you. Just indicates he's not folding. |
