why do you not fear my min-raise? FEAR MY MINRAISE

[creedofhubris]

5/10 NL.

Very aggro player with decent raising standards ($1500) opens UTG for $40.

I call from MP with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Flop:

8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Well, OK.

Villain bets $60, I min-raise to $120. Villain comes over the top to $500. I call.

Turn:

blank

Villain moves in for $900, I call. Opponent has KK and does not improve.

The min-raise is so rarely a big hand here that I felt it was the easiest way to make sure opponent felt secure in his overpair. He probably saw me as a medium pair or a flush draw.

But the moral is that no one fears a flop minraise on this board and many aggressive villains will come over the top here with moderate to weak holdings.
