Minraise can mean a lot of different things from a lot of different people.

Default Re: the mini-raise

Here's what I ahve found as standard in 6max Nl10 and nl25:

Min-bet: Either nothing or a big hand, hopfully a cheap showdown will reveal which and you will know for the future

Min-raise: Almost ALWAYS bad news, big hand.

Edit: MY line with TPTK vs a min raise becomes call-down, for info and becuase your pot odds for improving to 2 pair or trips arn't that bad when someone is min raising. I'd fold if I alreayd had the info and was damn sure it meant i was beat.

What about the check min-raise? Trying to call down cheaply against this kind of action has destroyed me time and again.

e.g. i have KK, flop 37T rainbow, villain checks, i pot it, he min raises. [Edit: I know it depends on our stack sizes, and if we're both deep-stacked, a lot of people say i should 3-bet it and then fold to any further action. The thing is, I almost always seem to see that dreaded further action.]

and on the draw-heavy flop i've grown to be just as scared.

thoughts?
