[Garland]

I used to *never* mini-raise, but now I'm finding spots where it might be useful. Once I mini-raised the original raiser on the turn after smoothcalling the flop when I had 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on button on a 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) turn, and got him to block bet the river, which I promptly raised and he folded.

Now onto the hand in question:

Villian is both loose and terrible. He raises too much and speculates too much. He raised on button with T6o and called a big limp-reraise. He paid off AA on a 46A (6) (5) board. Even thinking a long time before calling the turn and river bets, indicating he was scared when he should have rushed to call.

His numbers on 81 hands:

58.02% VP$IP PR Raise % = 29.63. Pretty aggressive on the flop and the river.

All comments appreciated.

Results to follow.
