Default Re: Mini raises, is there a place for them?

The main problem I have with minraising is that there are so few situations where you are willing to give your opponent excellent pot odds that it makes your hand transparent. Minraising works against donks and that's about it; any thinking player will watch your showdowns and figure out what your minraises mean (some players minraise draws, some minraises very strong hands (sets, etc.), some minraise everything).

I've minraised exactly twice in my past 60K hands or so and I haven't regretted not minraising any other time in that span.
