Miniraising preflop

[catlover]

I was thinking of full ring when I wrote that. In 6 max, UTG is only 3 off the button. From that position, you need to start opening with hands like T9s some of the time. This is not an excessively wide range. According to PT, my VPIP is 17% from that position when it is 6-handed. Which means that when I raise from that position, half the time I will have a hand in the top 8.5%, strengthwise. Which means that a reraiser behind will run into me with a big hand plenty often.
