Re: miniraising limpers from the BB?
From the blinds, this makes some sense to me. With 4-5 callers who will nearly always just call the minraise at SSNL, you are getting 8-10:1 immediate odds on your 7:1 draw. This does qualify as a value bet.
The only downside is that you might get reraised by someone who gives you insufficient odds to call. At SSNL, this is uncommon in my experience and if you do it when you have a highish PP you can call, expecting to find someone playing sherriff with overcards or a lower PP most of the time. You will see higher PP with a frequency that is proportional to the size of your PP (I always wanted to say that), but I think it's +EV in the long run. Remember, something doesn't have to work 100% of the time to be +EV.
