Re: The Conclusion of the hand

Just curious on a related note. Is a minraise in any position pre-flop ever correct? I would think no.

Well, say you are in the BB with a small pocket pair. Your chances of hitting trips are 7:1. So if there are 7 limpers and the SB completes, and you minraise, you will get 8 more BB's in the pot, for one of your own. I guess that's a profitable play.
I didn't factor in implied odds on that one. It's hard to quantify, but if you hit your trips, you will be able to bet bigger because the pot is bigger and people will tend to stay in longer.
So in this example, maybe it could even be profitable with 6 limpers, maybe 5.
Same logic could be applied to other drawing hands like Axs or SC's.
And for the record: I never minraise PF. I've just been thinking about this some. Not at all sure I'm correct though.
