actually, this is also a great way to "build" a pot for a later street, as long as you aren't worried about draws. For example, suppose you see the flop for free in the big blind with three others, and you flop trips on a rainbow, non-connected flop. If you minbet here, you might get calls all the way around the table --- setting up a bigger bet on fourth street when people are more committed to the pot. Otherwise, if you bet right out on the flop, nobody wants to risk second pair or whatever when the pot is small anyway.
