The main reasons we are against the minraise, in general, (and I say in general as there ARE certain times when it is an acceptable move - ie, you have a read that this particular player is afraid of minraise and will fold to them often, or that a player will call your minraise with almost any holding but usually fold to a bigger raise - then it is a raise for value (usually on the river though)). Anyway, the reasons we are against it is that
A) if you have a marginal hand and want a fold, most people will MUCH more likely fold to a bigger re-raise than a minraise.
B) If you have a good hand, then you are letting people draw out on you for cheap and are also not getting enough value out of people with 2nd best hands (less of a chance you're going to get their stack)
C) You project the strength of your hand for a very cheap price - raising gives other people information, you want to charge them as much as possibleStatistics: Posted by GodlikeRoy — Wed May 31, 2006 4:59 am
