Re: Dumb minimum raises.
i see it at the higher limits too. always by the weakest players with very little understanding of the game. i was just wondering what these players think they are accomplishing.

bobby hoff did it
In the big UB game DaWiz minraised from the blind twice vs multiple limpers. He took the pot with a bet on the flop both times. I don't think he is stupid.

Re: bobby hoff did it
The mini raise in LP is bad, but if you're at a passive table and no one will re-raise in EP, then you're building the pot for when you hit your 77.
Additionally if many have limped, and BB is known frisky assclown, you mini-raise with AA, he pops it, and UTG is having none of that...well, a lot of ifs, but you get the idea. Raising from BB and SB to steal from limpers is great. You can punish people for being passive and get paid better when you hit. |

Re: bobby hoff did it
Are you talking about ONLY about minraises PF?
If so then yes I don't understand those except for the suited connector minraise in a 5+ handed pot. (not that I'm saying that is a move I like, but it's not god awful). Min raising post flop a lot of people on here tend to think min raise = monster. I don't think this is as hard and stead a rule as a lot of people advocate. I remember reading an article by daniel negreanu where he said he uses the min raise to appear as if he's trying to find out if his hand is good. The hand in question was: DN holds J 10 vs aggressive opponent (I think david oppenheim), flop comes down A K Q. DN checks, oppenhein bets, DN min raises. He said he min raised to represent Ace weak kicker to make it appear as if he was trying to figure out of his hand was good. An aggressive opponent would pick up on this and come back over the top of him (which is what he wants in this case with the nuts). I have seen this particular example of the min raise used a lot. For example a hand I had where I had raised UTG PF with QQ, flop came down T 9 3. I lead out and get min raised by MP. I end up folding QQ to 88. He just wanted to see if I had overcards only and his 88 was good. Certainly there are examples when a minraise = the nuts, but that's usually when the minraise in itself is a large amount. Actually now that I think about it I've come to a better conclusion on what I think the minraise means. If it's a relatively small minraise, it probably denotes the person just trying to find out if their hand is good, where as if the minraise represents a large portion of the stacks it's probably the nuts. aight peace |
