Default Re: i like to min-raise my monsters from EP...

The last encounter I had with someone limping aces I happened to be in the SB with 76s. Flop came 98Tr and I checked, BB checked, limper led out and I called hoping for overcalls. BB pushed, limper called as did I. BB showed T9 for 2 pair on the flop and they both go bust to my flopped straight. It should be noted that a min raise would probably have had the same result as I like seeing a flop with those suited connectors from the blinds for a small raise and the BB would have definitely had odds to call and try to bust us both. A standard 3x raise may have gotten us both out.

Limping or min raising monsters is a huge risk, imho, and something that I doubt I will ever do having seen too many of these results. If I do it would have to be very situation dependent and only with strong reads.
