Re: Miniraising preflop
Catlover,
You are completing ignoring stack sizes, which I think is a huge factor in determining whether a minraise preflop has any merit. In a super deep game, you can play for 12 hours and never see a minraise, and I think that the reason is obvious. In addition to narrowing/expanding the field, preflop raising affects pot size. Good players want to force their opponents to make a pot-committing decision within a defined number of "moves". This is an advanced skill, I grant you, but a critical one nonetheless.
