Default Re: Trapping a LAG

Personally I dont think the min-raise is a bad play here. I, too, am not worried about draws and I think that the min-raise sometimes can really get under the skin of a LAG. It looks like weakness, so I think LAGs read it as "I know you are a LAG and I have a pair, so I dare you to call this with your garbage." But there is a decent chance that the LAG has a hand here (otherwise he would have bet more, right? The LAGs always seem to slow down for some reason when they actually have something. Talk about defeating yourself.) so I think there is a very good chance you get a large re-raise out of min-raising here. Against a normal opponent, I raise here, because I raise a lot heads up against normal opponents so there is no point in not raising when I actually have a hand.
