Yes, I use minraises almost exclusively against good, aggressive players. First reason for minraising is without reads, an aggressive plahyer will be betting alot of flops and will generally fold to this without a monster since this is the donks version of saying "I hit a set".

And the other reason, my favorite, is against a good player who also knows I am a good player. This just basically confuses the hell out of them since I never pull it against anyone else - works well with solid raising hands or air as this generally incites a re-raise or fold vs. good players. I used to avoid confrontation with other players I knew were long term winners and good players, now I often relish in the mind games (and subsequent profits!)
